## Writing Matters

Writing matters. It creates more robust thinking, preserves our ideas and memories, and strengthens our imagination. And that’s not all.

From cover letters to emails and reports, our writing is also the primary basis others use to judge our work and intellect. Therefore, becoming a better writer helps you become more yourself and a more persuasive communicator.

In this short practical session, we’ll give you new motivation, fresh techniques and some new tools for harnessing the power of writing.
