Most management reports are misunderstood and misused. Reports are dull and have been presented in the same manner for decades. Do your audiences sometimes fail to get the message? Learn how to grab your audiences' attention and deliver an actionable message. Discover the power of "The Trifecta" and the five secrets of effective reports and presentations. Learn how to make your messaging a "re-memorable event" and how to give the users what they need to know. We will discuss how to make your reports useful and understandable to your audience. If management does not understand the financial reports they receive (most do not) this seminar will provide keen insights to make your reports truly useful. Be the hero who delivers informative reports. We will show great examples of what to do and how.
