"Better Business Writing" Course Description

A business document is many things. A first impression, a proposal, a story, a demonstration, a promise. For some businesses, the document is the writing deliverable, the reason they do what they do.

But none of that matters if your clients don’t understand the document.

Our course, "Better Business Writing," gives your team the tools they need to develop strategies to write accessible business documents efficiently and with confidence.

The result: a team with better business writing skills who will showcase your organization’s professionalism and talent and ensure that your clientele is interested and engaged.
