Key Takeaways

1

Apply the 'beekeeping rule of space' to your life: humans naturally fill any volume they are given with junk, so intentionally limiting your space can prevent unnecessary clutter.

2

When delivering bad corporate news, prioritize direct accountability and a focus on those affected over 'CEO-centric' narratives or complex theories about shareholder-employee conflicts.

3

Invest in professional-grade video hardware (DSLRs and proper lighting) as the modern-day equivalent of a business suit to establish authority in a digital-first work environment.
