High-Value Writing

This course was exactly what I needed to improve my email writing and relationships. Erin does a magnificent job of distilling information into key points and bite-sized chunks you can use immediately. Her ability to share the most common mistakes and ways to overcome them is simple yet elegant. Each module is short enough to absorb what you need, yet long enough to try it and see how it works for you. Her examples are straight from everyday email problems, and her solutions are practical. Even though I was familiar with some of the concepts, the time was well spent upskilling in this area. I've already seen a difference in what I send out and the type of responses I get. Well done, Erin!

I write emails every day as part of my job. I tried using AI, but the emails generated did not sound like me. My clients would definitely notice the change in tone. As a result, I decided to take the Writing Professional Emails course. This course taught me an easy way to start and generate the structure of an effective email. It also gave me the tools to make my emails easier to read and understand, all while writing less. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who needs to write professional emails that need to be understood easily and acted upon quickly.

I was able to use the process to improve my emails immediately. Emails are now easier for me to write and my recipients are much more responsive.

Professor Erin Lebacqz's e-course on Writing Professional Emails enables me to apply the ABC principles (Accuracy, Brevity, and Clarity) in my emails and letters. As a professor of English in an EFL context, I always encourage learners to write with clear objectives and clarity, principles that I learned from Professor Lebacqz. High-Value Writing has inspired me to integrate professional writing techniques into the academic writing courses that I have been teaching at Nangarhar University, Afghanistan. I appreciate Erin's course materials and innovative teaching approaches. – Pervaiz Yaseeni, Assistant Professor, Nangarhar University, Afghanistan

I appreciated how this course combined longstanding writing advice with modern tips on how to write using AI and with your reader's immediate needs in mind.

I definitely learned that concise language with bullet points gets the point across clearly and creates action items for the receiver. That is my biggest and most important takeaway from this course.

Thank you. I enjoyed the course. Erin has a good presentation style - engaging and energetic.

I think the information in the course was great and will develop my emailing skills.

The content was great. Love the slides. I learned so much again! Thanks for tackling AI. I think you did a great job of this course and would recommend it.
