James Stanier:

The key is that you engage with your daily activities mindfully in a way that keeps your weekly update in mind. What I mean by this is that you are always on the lookout for:

• Direct experiences that you have had that would be valuable to share with the team. This could be anything from conversations with customers to shareable summaries of closed-door meetings such as executive reviews.
• Events that can be celebrated, such as a big project shipping, a long-standing bug being resolved, or performance improvements that have been rolled out.
• Things that could be improved, such as an incident that happened, an inefficient process that is causing friction, or data that highlights a problem that needs to be fixed (e.g. a drop in performance or an unexpected increase in infrastructure costs).
• Events that are happening in the near future that you want to remind people about.
