Description
“If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough.” – Albert Einstein
As we advance in our careers, the more we are expected to prepare specialized and high impact documents. There is a need for us to be highly skilled in our writing such that our proposals are approved immediately; our projects are executed efficiently; and our policies are received well.
This course is for professionals who need to upgrade their writing skills—from creating usual correspondences (i.e. e-mails, letters, memos) into highly specialized organizational documents (i.e. proposals policies & procedures, manuals).
