Business Writing and Grammar
Skills Made Fun and Easy
In
today’s
challenging
workplace,
you
cannot
afford
to
communicate poorly. Getting the job done well depends on your
ability to craft messages that are clear, professional and
persuasive. Whether you’re writing an e-mail, memo, business
letter, project report or client update, you need to be confident that
it will get the results you want. What’s more, other people’s opinion
of your level of ability and professionalism depends on the quality
of your written communication. Good writing enhances your
reputation and success.
There’s also the issue of time. In today’s frantic workplace, you are
pressured not only to write well, but very fast. It’s no wonder many
people feel anxious and stressed when it comes to writing.
Although we have all, at some point, learned basic writing skills,
very few people have been taught an efficient process for writing
high-quality documents quickly and with ease. This workshop
presents a simple yet powerful writing process that will improve
how you write while also giving you the knowledge and tools to
write strong and effective documents.
