Context:
Jasmine is a mid-level manager at a large consumer goods company. Her department is spearheading a company-wide initiative to reduce single-use plastics and transition to more sustainable packaging by 2026.
At the upcoming quarterly town hall, she will be delivering a 10-minute presentation to all employees, including senior leadership, introducing this initiative, its goals, and how every department can contribute.
The initiative has received mixed responses so far. Some see it as a costly change; others think it's just a trend. Jasmine’s challenge is to open her presentation in a way that engages everyone, creates buy-in, and sets the tone for the rest of her message.
