    I needed specific help with an important document. In addition to learning how to write a very compelling business plan, I also improved my overall business writing skills. Both the course and coach were extremely helpful.

    I learned the process to write my performance appraisal (and all other business documents I write.) The coaching was incredibly helpful. I discovered gaps and repetitive statements, and my coach helped me use more confident langauge. My boss was very impressed. And, he began talking about a promotion this year.
