Saya menyiapkan slide, tapi ujian sebenarnya adalah pertanyaan mereka.
One director asked about the budget risk.
Satu direktur bertanya tentang risiko anggaran.
I said, "Great question — here is how we thought about it."
Saya bilang, "Pertanyaan bagus — begini cara kami memikirkannya."
Then I gave the short version of our plan.

I focused on facts, not feelings.

They asked about the timeline next.

I didn't have all the numbers ready.
Saya belum punya semua angka.
So I said, "Let me come back to you on that."
Jadi saya bilang, "Nanti saya kabari lagi."
I wrote down their question and moved on.
Saya mencatat pertanyaan mereka dan melanjutkan.
After the meeting, I sent them the answer.

They respected that I was honest.
