Understand Your Audience’s Technical Competency
– How “Technical” is Your Audience?

• Your Peers (Very Technical in Your Field)
• Direct Manager (Competency Varies)
• Executive Level (Less Technical / More Programmatic)
Always Consider Audience’s Technical Discipline and Level of Mastery When Presenting to “Speak Their Language”
