Learn easy ways to adapt your writing to the way people read and the devices they read on.
With over 430 billion emails sent every day, email remains the most vital—and most frustrating—form of business communication. In this webinar, the first in a series on business and professional writing, you’ll learn practical strategies to make your messages stand out. You’ll discover how to adapt your writing style to the way people read today and the devices they use, ensuring your communications are seen and acted upon.
The course will cover how to craft effective subject lines, structure information for maximum impact, and position key details where your audience will notice them. By making small but powerful adjustments, you’ll write emails and messages that rise above the noise and get the results you want.

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.
Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.
