If applying three simple strategies to your business writing could increase three-fold the likelihood that people would actually read what you write ' wouldn't you want to know what those three strategies are? And if consistently applying those three strategies could build your reputation, make you more productive, and boost your credibility, wouldn't you want to adopt those three strategies today? Join civility and communication expert Lew Bayer and learn the top three new guidelines for modern business writing.
Why should you attend: Research suggests that how a person writes- particularly in business, can tell a reader a lot. For example, people may make judgments about your education, experience, credibility, honesty, professionalism, and even your age and gender based on how you write. And, in addition to negative impressions, poor business writing can impact service delivery, workplace and client relationships, and the bottom line. Learning and adopting simple techniques can ensure you send a positive impression, and potentially decrease the time you spend writing by up to 50%- as an important added bonus, effective writing can increase the possibility that someone will actually read what you write, and respond appropriately.Areas Covered in the Session:
- Why you- the writer, are actually to blame if readers aren't responding the way you want them to
- How to identify your purpose and clearly express that purpose for the reader
- Action-oriented writing strategies that encourage others to read what you write
- How to write subject lines and opening statements that have impact
- Elements of tone and how to know what is appropriate
- The “logical" order of content for short reports, memos and other business documents
- The difference between proofing and editing?
Who Will Benefit:
- Human Resources Professionals
- Administrative Professionals
- Training Specialists
- Learning and Development Specialists
