Business Writing for
International Professionals
“If you can't explain something simply, you don't understand it well enough.”
— Albert Einstein
Concise, clear, and engaging written communication is a challenge for most writers, but for non-native English speakers, language and culture differences add another layer of complexity. Yet, in today’s vast communication channels, good writing is one of the most critical business skills. How critical? Well, considering that the national yearly cost of bad writing reach billions in lost time and productivity - very critical!
