What to say and ask in a skip-level 1:1

These meetings can be high-stress (and a little awkward). I'll share the questions I recommend you bring up.

Why this topic matters

Skip-level meetings are golden career moments—but most people waste them. They show up vague, unprepared, or too quiet. And then wonder why nothing happens. I’ll walk you through how to structure your skip-level agenda so you leave the right impression, ask the right questions, and earn real visibility. Bring your agenda and I’ll review it live. If you don’t have one, you’ll leave with a template

Scaled Ops / Chief of Staff @ Google. 12+ yrs work experience. Ivy League.

As a child of immigrants, I didn't have a lot of people who could advise me in the corporate job. Looking back on my career, I realize that my success stems from a simple principle: surrounding myself with people who had already achieved what I wanted and learning from them. I've always observed them, analyzed what made them successful, and adapted their approaches to my own style.


My day job is a Google Scaled Ops / Chief of Staff. On the side, I help Asians in Tech reach the next level by helping them kill their career demons.
