Why this Course is Important

“Discover how to write clearly and compellingly – for customers, colleagues and other key stakeholders.”

You might not have thought about this before, but every day, the people you send emails to and other types of correspondence make important business decisions based on what you write and how you write.

So, if you can save them time and help them get results due to your writing skills, that makes you valuable. Your personal and professional image is at stake when you express yourself in writing. That’s why you must harness the power of clear writing.

Whether you write two dozen short emails to colleagues, a report to a client, or a memo to all of your colleagues, you must know how to express your thoughts well when you write.

By the end of the Brilliant Business Writing for Busy People session, you will have the skills and know-how to structure your writing and even polish your words when editing your writing for maximum impact.
