Most of us have to write every day: e-mails, letters, memos, reports, analyses, project summaries, product descriptions - the list goes on. But how many of us feel confident in our ability to get messages across effectively? Do we always think about what we're going to write and the best way to communicate to our target audience? Those who don't get their message across in the right way or make obvious errors in their writing are at a disadvantage. This topic will help you ensure that your writing is not only read, but is fully understood as you intended.

You’ve probably heard people say good writing is important, but why does it really matter? Think about what can happen if a document is poorly written. For example, what if using too many words hides your key points and your readers can’t figure out what you need? The written work you produce should make you stand out in a positive way. Your writing is a reflection of both you and your organization. Done well, it can open new doors for you, help you achieve your goals, build your networks, and advance your career. Effective writing starts with planning. This is a key step we often overlook during a busy working day. Asking yourself a few simple questions before writing will help ensure your written message is received, understood, accepted, and acted upon in the way you intend. In this course, you’ll learn to get your points across clearly. You’ll find out how to use concise language to make your writing more readable and compelling. We’ll also show you how choosing the appropriate words, style, and tone for your audience will improve your communication. Finally, you’ll learn how to organize your writing by using simple structures that create a logical flow, hold your readers’ attention, and increase their understanding.
