Testimonials

I was pleasantly surprised at how much I took from this class and how much I enjoyed it. I thought this class would be stripping away my writing for business e-mails, but it was so much more than that. I feel like I can write just more efficiently now, without losing my more detailed writing skills. It was a really good refresh on old basics I haven't touched on since grade high school - but that are still so important in day-to-day work.

Melissa Schoenheider, Cintas

I got a great deal more than initially expected out of this course. The instructor's energy, knowledge, and positive attitude provided the perfect atmosphere for learning. I appreciated all of the real-life applications and personal insights that were provided. I would strongly recommend this course and instructor to anyone looking to brush up on their writing skills.

Brian Wall, Orbitz

Thank you for your insight into the psychology of writing and then your knowledge of how to write effectively. My goal is to take away nuggets from each training course and I was able to do that today. Much appreciated.
