• Dramatize the situation: Provide context and details that emphasizes
the importance of your job, project, or product.
• Indicate the alternatives: Be thoughtful and analytical by listing three
different approaches to a problem.
• Go through what you did: Convince the listener that you were the
driving force in the action and results.
• Summarize your impact: Provide numbers and qualitative statements
that validate your impact in the organization or task.

• Use it to answer questions like ‘‘What’s your favorite project where you played a leadership role?’’
