Punch Write

Punch Write

Learning how to write more professionally and persuasively

Every executive must do some writing at some point — emails, memos, reports, business letters, and more. Most executives are able to write these fairly well, with little or no assistance. 

Few executives, however, are able to write a business analysis, strategic proposal, advertisement write-up, or an article for publication (either in the company’s newsletter or the country’s newspaper) par excellence. Yet the ability to write these well — i.e., professionally and persuasively — can be enormously helpful in multiple ways. Most importantly, it can help one to deliver his message with a strong impact. The good news is that the nuts and bolts of good writing are not as complicated as you might think, and hence not as difficult to learn as you might imagine. This course shows you how. 

Course overview

The ability to write professionally and persuasively is a fantastic skill for any executive to acquire. 

May benefits follow when you are able to write well. To begin with, people who write well project an image of competence and credibility; they tend to gain more respect from their peers who cannot write as well. Second, when you are able to write well, you are able to write reports, proposals, manuals, as well as articles for publication better and faster than your peers. 

There are two hallmarks of good writing. One is the ability to express your main points clearly. The other is to captivate your reader’s attention, and inspire him/her to respond in a desired way.

Thus this course attempts to help the executive learn two things, namely:

  1. making the punch-line of your message clear, and

  2. presenting your message with a strong punch! This is why this course is named “Punch Write”!
