Write to Be Read

Most organizational communication is written. Good writing influences what’s read. And what’s read influences decisions and actions and how people think.

But reading patterns challenge writing. Only about 20% of what’s written is read. Furthermore, technology has impacted how we read – we don’t. We skim.

To add to the challenge, our work relationships are dependent on being able to communicate our intent, as well as build and maintain relationships through the written word.

Only a few people are “born writers” but the good news is good writing skills are easily learned.

This course teaches ways to ensure your writing is read, understood, and acted on. It also teaches how to be relational in our writing.
