I was speaking with a friend last week about a presentation he was set to give.
Prepped and ready to go.
Until the meeting went too long and they pushed off his portion until the following week.
This is a scenario that lots of us have been in. And the natural instinct for many is to spend time over the ‘extra’ week you were given to tweak and try to improve it.
I call that overcooking the chicken.
It was good enough to go today. It will be good enough next week.
Sure, you can review it to make sure it’s clear - even find takeaways from the meeting this week from the personalities involved to make an adjustment in tone for next week.
But roll with your first choice.
No one’s gonna like the overcooked chicken.
