Course Perspective
Just wrapped up the High-Impact Business Writing course, and man, was it something! I’m the type who likes to get my hands dirty before I even set foot in a classroom, virtual or otherwise. Certificates? They’re nice wall decor, but let’s be real, the actual skill is what matters. Especially for us in IT and digital marketing, we know that a piece of paper isn’t what makes us experts.
I decided to take this course because, let’s face it, communication is key. And not many people get the nuances of effective business writing. It’s like a secret language that I wanted to decode, and now that I have, I’m stoked to share it with others.
I’ve been in Malaysia and Singapore for years and adore these countries. For me, it’s more about sharing knowledge and helping people than making a quick buck. And now that I’ve got a family and an adorable kid, the urgency to share and help others has kicked up a notch.
So, what did the course cover?
- Effective Presentations & Emails: This wasn’t about slapping words onto slides or banging out a quick email. We learned the art of crafting messages that actually resonate with people. It’s like learning how to make words dance.
- Writing for Visual Communication: Here, the focus was on how to use visual elements to make your writing pack more punch. It’s not just what you say, but also how you present it that matters.
- Editing and Proofreading: This was gold. The course taught us how to be our own toughest critics. How to sift through our writing, cut the fluff, and make every word earn its place.
- Business Reports and Press Releases: We dived into the formal stuff here. How to craft reports that people will actually read and press releases that actually get attention.
- Avoiding Common Pitfalls: This was the cherry on top. Learning what not to do is just as important as learning what to do. We went through some of the most common mistakes and how to steer clear of them.
All in all, the High-Impact Business Writing course was incredibly useful. Now that I’ve got this newfound knowledge, I’m eager to put it to good use, especially in my digital marketing career. And of course, share it with anyone who’s interested. Because what’s the point of learning cool stuff if you’re not going to share it, right?
