First Press Briefing

On January 20, 2021, the White House press secretary began her job at the National Zoo as a security precaution following the January 6 attack on the Capitol. The team had to meet on-site and take buses to their new office, which was located at the National Zoo. The press secretary had never attended a press briefing on Inauguration Day before, and they were preparing for it.

The press secretary and Biden's senior advisors were locked out until 12:00 p.m., with the COVID-19 pandemic still raging. They had been practicing briefings over Zoom due to security precautions downtown. The press secretary's role was to provide information to the White House press corps so they could report on the work of the president and the White House to the public.

After disembarking from the zoo buses, the press secretary had a meeting in the Oval Office with a group of the president's senior advisors to discuss how to characterize the events of that day in her evening briefing. One of the most important early tasks was to establish credibility by conveying that she had a connection with the president and would be engaging with him on a daily basis.

During the briefing, the press secretary asked President Biden if he had read the traditional letter that the departing president leaves behind. He deemed the letter generous and gracious, and the press secretary had to describe his thoughts on the private letter respectfully but not suggest a warm relationship. Describing any action, even the writing of a letter, by the former president who had clearly sparked an insurrection felt far too generous to all of them.

Jen Psaki, a former White House press secretary, prepared for her first briefing at the White House, which was being aired live by many networks. The briefing focused on sharing accurate information with the American people, and the speaker aimed to deliver on this commitment. The briefing lasted 31 minutes, and the speaker felt a rush of adrenaline and relief after it.

The New York Times headline about the briefing signaled that Psaki had done what she set out to do: Jen Psaki's Debut: No Attacks, No Lectures, No Crowd Size Fixation. This experience highlights the importance of effective communication in various life experiences, such as parent-teacher conferences, coworker encouragement, and State of the Union addresses.

Becoming a strong communicator requires being open to making mistakes, improving after making mistakes, listening to feedback, and practicing. Psaki's career in politics began when she moved to Des Moines to work for the Iowa Democratic Party. Over the years, she has learned that knowing your audience is almost as important as knowing your material, that complex conversations are best approached head-on, that speaking across different beliefs requires grace, tact, and a willingness to give up the fantasy of winning in favor of understanding, that the ability to both give and receive feedback is rarer than you think, and that really listening doesn't mean just sitting back and waiting for what you want to hear.

The author shares her experience in communication, observing others and learning from various sources. She has learned from experts in high-stress, high-profile jobs and from people who have never worked in government or media. The lessons from her experiences are surprisingly similar, and she has had to communicate to the American public and explain to a toddler why he should give up his pacifier.

However, the author warns that much of the advice in
