business writing essentials masterclass

Writing can be a huge challenge for many admin professionals and the source of hours of lost time spent procrastinating and agonising over what to say and how to say it.

You’re in the right place if you’ve ever wished you knew the best practices, tips and tricks that would elevate your written materials and communications and take away the frustration and the guess work.

Here’s the thing: business writing is part art and part science.

This highly practical class is designed to demystify both and give you the confidence and comfort to create materials for others and be more effective in your own written communications.

Less angst. More ease. Faster replies. More polish.
