“ ‘Business communication’ is not a box you can check. It is a nuanced, collaborative exchange that forms the backbone of your company’s ability to innovate and perform — an exchange that takes up a significant amount of employees’ time and energy every week.”

Grammarly

“The State of Business Communication”

“Good preparation has a wealth of benefits. It not only rewards your audience with a better presentation, it rewards you with confidence, knowing you’ve prepared well and know your material well.”

David E. Guggenheim

“Millions of e-mail messages every day give people the information they need to do their job, and a badly written message can do a lot of damage. So can a badly written website.”

William Zinsser
