Words That Work

Do you wonder what your manager and colleagues think about your business writing skills at work? Or if your current business writing and communication skills are holding back your career progression?

Over 80% of workplace communication uses the written word through emails, technical writing, presentations, annual reports, executive decision memos, and Slack posts. But the majority of what we write in the workplace doesn't get read.
