Whether it is a briefing to an internal executive or an external client, one thing in common is that this is a great opportunity to make the most of your impact. This kind of debriefing is definitely not about stating something, but about changing your audience through carefully conceived content. What do such persuasive presentations have in common? It is not only logical and concise, but more importantly, it is listener-oriented. This course teaches the ideas, underlying logic, and methodology of designing and presenting reports, or a persuasive "way" of presentation, that is, "how to sell your ideas in reporting".

不管是一次向内部高管的汇报，还是一次向外部客户的汇报，都有一个共同点，即这是一次可以充分发挥你的影响力的极佳机会。这种汇报，绝对不是在陈述一些情况，而是通过精心构思的内容去改变你的听众。这种有说服力的汇报有什么共同点呢？就是它不仅仅是逻辑清晰和简明扼要，更重要的是它是听众导向的。本课程所教授的是设计和呈现汇报的思路、底层逻辑和方法论，或者说是一种有说服力的汇报的“道”，即“如何在汇报中Sell你的想法”。
