What you'll get: A report can be accurate, complete, beautiful — and still get 'so what'. This 110-minute course reverses the preparation order: start from the decision to be made, write a one-sentence core message of finding–implication–proposal, choose the chart form by the question already in the room's head, build on a three-act structure, convert numbers into units people can feel, and avoid the four ways of misleading without lying.
