Course overview
Transform the way you communicate your insights to stakeholders.
In this course I share everything I've learned about how to write with impact that I've learned in a 10+ year career that spanned management consulting, big tech and founding my own UX research agency. I created this course because I believe that good ideas need good communication to thrive. Writing is an essential skill for anyone who works in any organisation from the smallest agile startup all the way through to the biggest publicly listed corporate organization.
Being able to align stakeholders around your ideas, your vision, your insights, and your recommendations is an absolutely critical skill for anyone who works with customer insights. I believe that this is a skill that can be taught and can be improved. Many of us go for long stretches in our career, focusing on other more technical skills. But writing is a critical, foundational skill that can and will increase your influence inside and outside your organization.
