Being sure that employees are able to write in a clear professional style is important to any business. When employees put words on paper or send them electronically – whether by a memo, e-mail, letter to a potential customer, report or a marketing piece, they make a powerful statement about their organization’s commitment to professionalism and excellence. Participants will learn how to present their ideas clearly and persuasively . . . select words that fit their meaning . . . spot misused verbs, pronouns and punctuation . . . and avoid communication misfires. They will learn how to be more concise, positive, professional and correct in their written communications.
Target Audience
Anyone who communicates frequently in writing.
