    • How to create a filtering system for evaluating what's truly a priority vs. what's just urgent
    • The North Star question that makes decision-making easier and faster
    • Why unclear goals create team misalignment (and how to fix it)
    • Word-for-word scripts for saying no tactfully when you're being pulled in too many directions
