Better Business Writing

Program Description: Back in high school, writing meant dealing with grammar, proper sentence structure, prepositions, and dangling modifiers. In today’s business world, writing is a key skill for your career. In business, your reader is:

content driven
pressed for time
wants solutions
needs to know why he or she is reading your document.

Program Abstract: Professionals are being challenged to write more clearly, simply and concisely. This is especially important when dealing with complex financial information. The ability to effectively communicate ideas saves time and confusion. Good writers can sell more products, bring in more clients, create greater goodwill, and increase productivity.

We are judged by the way we write, whether it's an email, memo, report, or official document. Writing well takes work but my workshop can help you master effective writing techniques. Remember, improving your writing skills can increase opportunities for you.

My popular presentations and workshops incorporate humor to get participants laughing and thinking about becoming better writers. As Ohio University Professor Mel Helitzer says, “If we can get student’s mouth open for laughter, we can slip in a little food for thought.”

Learning Outcomes: Following this session, participants will be able to:

Discover how to write more concisely by recognizing opportunities to write in an active voice. Writing in an active voice reduces document word count by 25% and energizes the document
Discover how to edit your document to be as concise as possible
Discover easy ways to write around the rules of English to save time
Discover ten ways to become a better business writer.

Program Delivery: This workshop is offered as a two hour workshop.
