Communication is one of the most important skills in business. Effectively articulating your ideas enables you to drive initiatives forward, motivate teams, and accurately represent the goals of your organization. In today’s world, communication goes well beyond a conversation. Whether you are preparing a presentation, sending a quick email, or navigating a crisis, mastering your communication approach is critical.
Throughout this program, you will review the foundations of effective verbal and written communication in a variety of business settings and scenarios. Building on those foundations, you will develop your ability to use persuasion when addressing audiences through planned speeches, writing, or presentations, as well as during unscripted situations such as impromptu discussions. No matter what your key message is, this certificate program will prepare you to build a career in the increasingly important function of communications.
For the best experience in this program it is recommended to take these courses in the order that they appear.
