“Act as a experienced executive coach preparing someone for a high-stakes meeting. I have a meeting coming up about [describe the topic, e.g., 'requesting additional budget for my project' or 'presenting Q3 results to leadership' or 'pitching a new process change to the team']. The attendees include [list roles or names, e.g., 'my manager, the finance director, and the VP of operations']. Based on this context, generate 8-10 tough but realistic questions they might ask me, including skeptical or challenging ones. For each question, suggest a strong, concise way to respond that addresses their concern directly.”
