Writing with Emotional Intelligence
This course was available in the past and may be presented again as part of the Open Enrollment curriculum.
We often hear about bringing emotional intelligence to our personal interactions and conversations, but what about our writing? In today's largely remote environment, we create and maintain relationships through writing. We may not meet everyone we email, DM, text, or share documents with, but we learn about one another - and build trust - through each other's writing.
Bringing intentional emotional intelligence to our writing helps us write to both inform and connect with our readers. This course, led by Erin Lebacqz, luminary educator, speaker, and author of High-Value Writing: Real Strategies for Real-World Writing, will help you manage the informational and emotional meaning in your writing, to connect with your readers through purposeful tone and word choice.
