96467 - Building Trust and Respect through Intentional Writing
Course Overview
Our professional writing and communication can impact the trust we build with our teams or colleagues and can help us convey respect. Although we usually don’t intend to show disrespect in the workplace, our writing can accidentally feel disrespectful when we don’t consider our reader’s needs.
This course will help you use intentional language to purposefully build respect and trust with those you write to and about. You’ll learn how perceptions of respect can impact morale and retention and discover new strategies for conveying respect through your writing.
This course includes examples, an overview of the potential impacts of communication, references to studies, and practical, actionable strategies you can immediately apply to your writing.
