Workplace writing

Emails, presentations, reports, newsletters and briefs are just some of the many ways that writing is intrinsic to the workplace. In a professional sphere, having the tools to write well not only allows you to communicate your ideas clearly and effectively, but it also presents opportunity after opportunity for career enhancement as writing skills are considered essential by most employers.  

Our content and instruction provide the training you need to develop your own writing style, to avoid common pitfalls, to tap into the power of storytelling and to share your ideas using precise, professional and persuasive language.  

Tailored for those who write or present regularly at work, our courses cover a range of topics and can be taken individually or combined with select options to complete a credential. 

Arthur's engaging lessons, paired with his thought-provoking tips and questions throughout the course, inspired me to dig deeper and connect to my creativity in new ways! Thank you for building a safe and inviting space to practice and grow my storytelling skills.
