Free Business Writing Crash Course

Learning to write beginning in high school unlocked the world for me, taking me from rural Canada to Harvard University, Beijing University, and SOAS in London on scholarships, and around the globe as a journalist. Mid-career, I took a break from journalism to pursue a master’s degree at London Business School. There I studied with brilliant, experienced business people, many of whom struggled with writing. I created the Kohut Academy to help them, and people like them, learn to write with greater ease, clarity, and satisfaction.

I have worked as a financial and political news correspondent and editor at some of the world’s most trusted news organisations including Reuters, Bloomberg, The Wall Street Journal, Globe and Mail, Asia Inc., Sunday Times of London, South China Morning Post, Asia Inc., and others.

Writing about complex issues in simple language has been at the heart of my career. It has also been my pleasure. I believe in the importance of clear, precise, transparent, accurate, and truthful communications as the foundations of good business, democratic government, respect for personal rights, and good corporate and individual citizenship.
