Description

According to Business Insider, "
the average U.S. employee spends about a quarter of his or her time at work combing through the hundreds of emails each employee sends and receives each day
".  


But despite the sheer volume of emails we send and receive, many business professionals do not use email appropriately.  Inappropriate email etiquette can negatively impact on
perceptions of professionalism
, on
efficiency
and can
increase a company's risk of liability
.


This course helps you
minimise that risk
by coaching you in exceptional email etiquette.  Naturally, that includes a focus on professionalism in the workplace, behaviour, email structure, formatting, spelling, the importance of spelling and grammar, the all-important subject line and much more.


Based on my eleven years' experience training professionals in more effective business communication, this course is your go-to guide to
write right, every time
.
