“ ‘Business communication’ is not a box you can check. It is a nuanced, collaborative exchange that forms the backbone of your company’s ability to innovate and perform — an exchange that takes up a significant amount of employees’ time and energy every week.”

Grammarly

“The State of Business Communication”

“Good preparation has a wealth of benefits. It not only rewards your audience with a better presentation, it rewards you with confidence, knowing you’ve prepared well and know your material well.”

David E. Guggenheim

Public Speaking: From Competent to Captivating

“Millions of e-mail messages every day give people the information they need to do their job, and a badly written message can do a lot of damage. So can a badly written website.”

William Zinsser

On Writing Well

“[J]ob applicants with … foreign accents are viewed negatively by hiring managers in the interactive services, but more positively for jobs that involve no engagement with customers.”

Andrew R. Timming

“The Effect of Foreign Accent on Employability”

“The difference between the almost right word and the right word … is the difference between the lightning bug and the lightning.”

Mark Twain

“The Art of Authorship”
