Professionally Articulate: Lesson 1

Clear Written Communication

You think your messages are clear. Research says otherwise — people correctly read the tone of an email only about half the time, yet believe they've nailed it. In this lesson, you'll spot errors in workplace writing under pressure, discover how the same message lands differently depending on who reads it, and practice writing for the right person in the right way.

Why This Matters

Every day at work, you write dozens of messages — and every single one is a chance to be understood or misunderstood. Research shows that people massively overestimate how clearly their tone comes across in writing. The people who stand out are the ones who know how to adjust what they say depending on who they're saying it to. This lesson gives you the skills to write clearly, match your tone to your reader, and put their needs before your own.
