Today's advice comes from Chitra Narasimhan, managing director at Citi Ventures.
今天MBA小課堂的嘉賓是來(lái)自于花旗集團(tuán)的常務(wù)董事Chitra Narasimhan：

"Championing ideas with teamsis one of the things that we do at Citi Ventures. First and foremost, believe in your idea. If you don't believe in it, others are not going to believe in it either."
“我們?cè)诨ㄆ旒瘓F(tuán)會(huì)做一件事情，那就是在團(tuán)隊(duì)中進(jìn)行創(chuàng)意比賽。 首先，也是最重要的，就是要相信自己的創(chuàng)意。如果你自己都不相信自己的想法，那么其他人也不會(huì)相信。”

Before presenting an idea to clients or fellow employees, you have to have a strong belief in them. Regardless of how presentable and prepared you may be, it's easy for others to see whether or not you're fully invested in your mission.
在將自己的想法展現(xiàn)給客戶或其他同事之前，你要絕對(duì)相信自己的想法。除了精心的準(zhǔn)備和展示，別人更容易看到的是你有沒(méi)有對(duì)為自己的點(diǎn)子做充分的準(zhǔn)備。

Narasimhan also advises individuals to "know your audience" and to deliver a pitch with passion and optimism. Spread a message that motivates you and be ready to address any concerns with confidence.
Narasimhan還建議，要“了解自己的聽(tīng)眾”，在介紹自己想法的時(shí)候，語(yǔ)氣要充滿激情和自信。把那些激勵(lì)了你自己的信息傳遞給他人，并且隨時(shí)準(zhǔn)備接受任何提問(wèn)。

"If you go to a team with a fully baked idea, they're going to tell you what's wrong with it; make them part of the design process, and build support along the way. And most importantly, don't forget the big picture: It's easy to get caught up in the details, but don't forget why you thought the idea was good in the first place."
“如果你在團(tuán)隊(duì)中提出的是一個(gè)成熟的想法，那么團(tuán)隊(duì)的其他成員就會(huì)告訴你這個(gè)想法還有哪些問(wèn)題存在。讓這些糾正成為設(shè)計(jì)的一部分，并在實(shí)施想法的過(guò)程上獲得別人的支持。最要緊的是，要有大局觀。人們總會(huì)被一些細(xì)節(jié)所困擾，但是一定不能忘記當(dāng)初萌生這個(gè)想法的初衷?！?/div>
