TOP REVIEWS FROM HIGH-IMPACT BUSINESS WRITING
I have held several executive roles throughout my career. This course helped fine tune my writing and has drastically improved my correspondences as well as presentations. Highly recommend.
Rather good course. I would recommend to place more links for selfeducation. Also it would be greate to see more examples of business correspondence and key expressions.
This course was short, poignant and mindful of our busy lives, while teaching us all how to be more impactful in our writing. This is just what I was looking for to give me an extra edge at work!
This course provided more insight on how to write professional documents, and access to extra material on the subject matter was a big highlight of this course. thank you
