  • Updating and improving your business writing skills for more effective and persuasive letters, reports, and e-mails
  • Organizing your documents with your readers’ needs in mind
  • Creating reader-friendly layouts to highlight important information
  • Overcoming obstacles that cause “writers block”

    • Audience:

    Anyone who handles correspondence, develops publications, prepares reports, and needs to be able to write quickly under pressure.

    Program Note:

    Each participant should bring a current project to get one-on-one feedback on their business writing skills.
