Description: Even in the relative meritocracy in which we work and live, people still judge others to a large extent by the quality of their written words. Consciously and subconsciously, clients and colleagues make determinations about another’s education and competence when reading their correspondences.
Sadly, secondary schools have subordinated the importance of proper language skills in attempts to make education more “relevant” to their diverse student bodies. This course was created to enhance the image of the company and the advancement of the participants by addressing the common mistakes that signal lack of written language skills.
In either a one-day or half-day format, participants will secure the skill base to compose and refine written communications that both get to the point and reflect well on themselves and their firms. Lecture and demonstration content for both time-frame formats are the same.
The WRITE Method
Among the characteristics of good business writing are clarity, precision, and economy of language. Yet, as students discover for themselves in class, most people write with none of these requisites because they've never been taught a method to do so. Participants in this course learn to differentiate between the different types of information that make up their messages, namely:
W - to Whom it is written
R - Real meat of the message
I - Information on background
T - Take these steps
E - End it
After completing this course, the participants will understand the importance of:
• Deciding what they want from readers and knowing how to get it
• Knowing the people for whom they are writing
• Choosing the information that will have the impact they want
• Arranging the ideas so readers can follow them
• Motivating readers to look forward to every point they make
• Writing so their readers cannot possibly misunderstand
• Using strategies for special reader needs
• Telling their story so readers stay with them all the way
• Using words and sentences that readers understand easily
• Conveying their message in as few words as possible
• Formatting their writing so it is clear and looks interesting
• Proofreading their writing
