Writing that strengthens your leadership presence

AI can support drafting, but effective leadership writing still depends on judgement, sensitivity and intent. This course develops the thinking behind strategic writing, helping participants shape messages that people notice, interpret accurately and respond to with confidence. They explore how tone, structure and framing influence how stakeholders interpret issues and respond, and how to adjust these choices for different contexts.

Participants also learn how to draw on AI without losing their human touch, ensuring their writing supports stronger relationships, clearer priorities and more consistent progress in complex workplace situations.
