The Heart of the Matter: Storytelling for Business
February 5–March 11, 2019 | 6–8:30 pm | Gleacher Center downtown | $465
Want to find a way to make writing for business and the professions even more effective? Simple: tell your story. In this six-week class, you will learn to create an authentic, compelling story that clarifies your mission, vision, and value proposition. We will study storytelling in the context of business and discover the powerful role it plays in inspiring, motivating, and resonating with an intended audience. You will learn how to create your own illuminating narrative, one that explores who you are, where you come from, and most importantly, why you do what you do.
Effective Writing for Business and the Professions Consultation
