Course Details

When you speak with workplace colleagues, you often do so to convince or inform. To communicate effectively – share information, provide input into a decision, or get buy-in for your ideas – your written and oral communications must be accessible, concise and precise.

Learn how to write and deliver effective presentations, emails and briefs. Focus on five types of communications commonly used in the workplace:

Slide presentations, with a focus on PowerPoint
Executive summaries
Briefs / Briefing notes
Emails and other short documents
Short oral presentations.

Through hands-on written exercises, learn what you need to do before you start writing, how to focus on your audience, and identify and correct common writing problems. You also have the opportunity to deliver a short presentation and oral briefing to your instructor and classmates.

By the end of this course, you’ll be able to:

develop an influential PowerPoint presentation
write three kinds of briefs: meeting preparation, informational, and input into decisions
structure and deliver an effective two-minute oral briefing for a manager, colleague or decision-maker
develop talking points for senior leaders or executives.
