It's essential to understand the board and present information in a way that aligns with how other departments report. Analogies can be effective, but they should be used judiciously. The head of tax, for example, isn't going to use storytelling to convey their points. It's crucial not to try to be overly creative or "cute" in these presentations. The key is to maintain a level of professionalism and clarity that matches the board's expectations.
