Every quarter we have ‘QBRs’, which stands for Quarterly Business Reviews. I’ve been busy reviewing our SQL Server business, and planning for 2010, and on October 29th I get to journey into the lion’s den and present that plan.
The audience for the QBR is high-level executives from every area of the company – development, support, legal, sales, marketing, CEO, President – and it will be my first time presenting the whole business to them. People have made or broken their careers during these meetings, and some of the stories I have heard range from the truly painful, Gong Show-esque moments to people knocking it out of the park and cementing their place. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a tad nervous, but I am looking forward to the opportunity.
I am a big believer of advancing your career by getting out of your comfort zone. I’ll let you know how that goes!
