“Don’t write merely to be understood. Write so that you cannot possibly be misunderstood,” wrote Robert Louis Stevenson. As e-mail, social network postings and text messages come to dominate our daily business lives, writing skills become ever more important. Yet business writers often approach writing with the same dismay and confusion that plagued them as students. This one-hour webinar will help writers:

  • Get past the panic at the blank computer screen,
  • Cut their writing time in half,
  • Liven up their language, and
  • Get maximum value from the time they spend editing. 

And that’s only in the first half! The second part of the session will cover Ten Commandments of Smart E-mail. Beginning with determining whether e-mail is really the best medium for the message, these ten e-mail principles will help participants write e-mails that are read, understood, and acted upon. A bonus lesson on writing cover e-mails when submitting resumes will round out the session.

Anyone who struggles over writing or who wishes to write more clearly and concisely should take this course. Packed with examples and insight, this webinar will answer many basic questions about writing well.

Fee and Registration:

Free for UCLA Anderson alumni, students and staff
