ENG 315: Professional Communications:

“Professional Format and Style”

How you do anything is how you do everything. – T. Harv Eker (from Secrets of the Millionaire Mind)

This course is a mixture of learning a new format (business style) and adapting your English language skills to a different audience. Business communication relies equally on format (how you communicate) and content (what you say).

Respond to ONE of the following:

  1. Discuss the Eker quote as it pertains to your professional experience and the material for Week 2
  2. Find a quality resource that discusses the importance of format OR find a quality support that proves format does not matter in the context of the professional environment.
