Who hasn't read a report or letter from a senior executive that is riddled with grammatical or spelling errors? In today's rapid-fire telecommunication age, no employee can afford to be embarrassed by lack of basic business writing ability.

Presentation Skills
It is not difficult for most of us to make a presentation to an individual or a group. But it is not so easy to give a presentation that is engaging, thoughtful, informative and memorable. Holt Presentation Skills outlines how to build a speech from the very beginning that will assure a successful end result. This animated course will require intensive live and videotaped feedback.
