Effective writing can make or break your career, so learn how to clearly and confidently communicate your ideas in writing.

Dawn Zerbs is on a mission to rid the world of bad business writing. As communicators, we write emails, memos, social media posts, reports and presentations daily. Your writing represents you more often than you represent yourself. But is what you write getting read, and more importantly, is it influencing business decisions?

Co-founder of The Essential Pencil, Dawn will host an interactive session and walk us through the top four challenges of business writing, what the pain points are and tips on how to relieve them. Bring your questions because that's where the real learning begins!
