Course overview

Write to be read, not ignored

First impressions can make or break your career, and they’re often formed on how you communicate. As face-to-face interaction wanes in a post-Covid world, your written communication inevitably carries more and more weight. Research shows that successful executives attribute 60% of their success to visibility, image and reputation, making effective written communication critical for business success.
