Deane Eldredge's The Write Rules
A Guide to Clarity in Business Communications
(See Registration Form Below)
More time, energy and money is wasted on worthless writing ---- both in creating it, and reading it ---- than just about any other business activity. Good writing skills are crucial to business success, and few things can hurt your reputation more than a poorly written letter, memo or E-mail.
For example, E-mail is one of the most convenient ways to be impetuously stupid. A terrible e-mail seems to propagate in cyberspace and live forever.
Course Objectives:
- You’ll find that the course encompasses all aspects of style, from basic (such as the new rules of punctuation and grammar) to complex (such as how to write a proposal and how to format a procedures manual).
- You’ll also learn about frequently misused words and expressions; matching the right tone to the situation or person; and the correct writing styles for memos, letters, job descriptions, reports, newsletters, and even e-mail.
- The Workshop is specifically designed to help the participant make informed judgments about the best mode of expression.
- It provides guidelines on the full range of business communications, formats, preferred usages, and other issues that frequently arise in the creation of memos, emails, reports, newsletters, and speeches.
- Learn a simple process that will help you eliminate writer’s block.
- Practice with before-and-after writing samples, lists of words to avoid, antiquated words and phrases, and commonly misspelled words.
- Discover how to use the Flesch Reading Ease setting on your computer for an instant analysis of your writing.
- Identify and focus your writing to gain maximum effect from each and every word.
- Relearn the art of letter writing to appropriate and influential effect.
- Understand the purpose of your writing and plan how to best get the message across.
- Communicate with clarity and precision.
Here at last is a workshop developed for the modern business writer that does away with stuffy, archaic forms of correspondence, and introduces a more conversational, clear and concise style of writing.
