Most writing challenges are not about what to say, but how clearly it comes across.

The Essentials of Grammar for Professionals course begins July 6, and is designed to help professionals write with greater control, consistency, and ease.

This course takes a practical approach to grammar, focusing on how sentence structure, punctuation, and syntax affect meaning in real professional contexts. Participants build the ability to spot issues quickly, reduce ambiguity, and produce writing that requires less revision.

For those working across emails, reports, content, or client communications, stronger grammar means less back and forth, fewer misunderstandings, and more confidence in how your work is received.

Leadership expectations are shifting, and organizations are actively looking for leaders who can coach, support, and develop their teams, not just manage them.

Recent research makes it clear why building coaching capability is becoming essential for career progression:
• Leadership and manager development is the number one priority for HR leaders, highlighting just how critical strong leadership skills have become. (Gartner)

• 75% of HR leaders say managers are overwhelmed, and 70% believe current leadership training is not preparing them effectively, creating a clear gap for professionals who invest in developing these skills. (Gartner)

• Deloitte’s Human Capital Trends research shows a major shift toward leaders being expected to focus more on people development, communication, and adaptability, all core elements of coaching.

• Insights from nearly 13,000 business and HR leaders in Deloitte’s study reinforce that leadership capability is now central to business performance and long-term success.

For professionals looking to strengthen their leadership impact and stay competitive, developing executive coaching skills is no longer optional. It is a practical way to improve how you lead, communicate, and drive results.

The Executive Coaching for Leaders program from Chicago Booth is designed to help you build these capabilities and apply them immediately in your role. Earn a Booth credential with an 8-week online course or take personalized coaching sessions.
