Whatever your occupation, learning to read and assimilate written information will put you at a great advantage. However, reading quickly is not easy. Most people struggle to read more than a couple of hundred words per minute.

This course will teach you speed reading techniques that will help you process information at a rapid rate, thereby improving your performance at work or college.

In this age of information overload, it can be hard to know where to find good information that you can trust. If you’re doing research for an important project, report, or proposal, how do you find information that you can count on? Find out how to research any topic using a number of different tools. Start with basic techniques, such as reading, memory recall, note-taking, and planning. Create different kinds of outlines for different stages of your project, and how to move from the outline to actual writing, editing, and polishing.

We all know what good writing is. It’s the novel we can’t put down, the poem we never forgot, and the speech that changes the way we look at the world. Good writing is the memo that gets action and the letter that says what a phone call can’t. In business writing, the language is concrete, the point of view is clear, and the points are well expressed. Good writing is hard work, and even the best writers get discouraged. However, with practice, you can feel more confident about your own writing and become a better writer.

This course will give you the skills in communication, coaching, and conflict that you need to be successful.
