Overview
Comprehension and grammar are essential indicators of one’s professionalism in the workplace. You ignore them at your peril.
Fewer things are more embarrassing than sharing your report around the conference table with everyone and noticing glaring mistakes in your English. At best, you may be flustered. At worst, discredited. It's a risky gaffe just not worth the trouble.
This workshop offers a rundown on the principles at work behind excellent spoken and written Business English.
