The decision memo
Three weeks on the one document that gets things approved: the ask, the options, the risk and the deadline.
3 weeks, live
Wednesdays, 6:00 pm ET
30 seats per cohort
Managers, PMs and founders
A short course for people whose work stalls waiting for a yes. You bring a real decision, write the memo in three drafts, and send it by the end of week three.
Ruth line-edits each draft, and your group plays the busy executive who has two minutes to read it.
What you will be able to do
Write the ask in one sentence
Lay out options without burying your pick
Name the risk and the deadline
Send a real memo by week three
The next cohort of Writing that gets read starts October 20
Forty seats, a group of six, line edits on every draft. Applications take five minutes and most students expense it.
Live cohort courses in writing and speaking for people who do it at work. Small groups, line edits, six weeks at a time.
Taught live from Chicago, Austin, Portland and Seattle
