You won’t lose your career to AI. You’ll lose it to poor communication.
You can be:
→ Brilliant
→ Strategic
→ Even overprepared
But if you choke in the moment that matters, or worse, ramble and lose your audience, you won’t get the promotion.
You’ll get passed over.
This week, we’re getting real about the #1 upskill 94% of you said matters most: Impromptu presentations. Not the polished keynote. The everyday updates that decide your credibility and career trajectory.
In this issue:
→ A fast-read blog to fix your small presentations
→ A plug-and-play framework for any moment (usually only in our paid course)
→ A first look at our bold new AI-powered Elite Presentations Lab
→ A podcast on the 10 skills great MSLs know but rarely get taught
If you’ve ever felt stuck, skipped over, or spoken too long, this one’s for you.
Presentations That Get You Promoted
Think promotions come from big events and final decks? Think again.
→ That 2-minute HCP recap
→ The “Can I grab 5 minutes?” hallway request
→ Your quick update to leadership
These are the trust builders. The credibility moments.
Or… the missed opportunities.
These are the moments that build trust, influence, and visibility. Or not.
Elite Presenters Aren't Born. They're Built.
Patrina and Sarah are cooking up something bold, smart, and a little spicy for those who are serious about becoming unforgettable when they speak.
It’s called the Elite Presentations Lab. And it’s not about flashy slides.
It’s about the power of your voice. You’ll learn how to use it to command the room, connect on impact, and weaponize your delivery, so people listen, follow, and remember.
Internal updates. External engagements. That high-stakes “Can you give a quick recap?” moment. You’ll be ready for all of it.

How to Master Small Presentations, Starting Now
Most people ramble when put on the spot. It’s not because they aren’t smart:
► It’s because they don’t have a structure.
And when you ramble? You sound less confident, even when you are confident.
The fix? A simple framework you can use at any moment, from quick updates to one-on-one recaps:
Try the PET Framework:
→ Problem. What’s the real issue?
→ Experience. What did you see, do, or learn?
→ Transformation. What changed and why it matters.
Use it to organize your next update, explain a key insight, or turn data into a story that sticks. This is one of our go-to tools from the Presentation Mastery for Pharma and Biotech online course, and it's normally only taught there. But today, it's yours.
