Polish your prose: The basics of business writing

As 'business talk' develops into more direct, real and sincere communication, so too must business writing become easy, up-front, punchy as well as persuasive. In fact, never before have the words "Say what you mean - mean what you say" been more applicable as they are today.

Designed to provide participants with critical awareness of their written 'voice', this full-day workshop, conducted at clients' premises, will empower delegates to better manage client relationships through logically structured, user-friendly written communication.

Learning to write effective documents, powerful business letters, accessible memorandums and readable e-mail, means highlighting the basic tools that are necessary to write effectively.

From formulating coherent thoughts, to building sentences, structuring paragraphs and matching an audience, this programme aims to establish and refocus each participant's approach to written communication.

Delegates will be provided with the opportunity to verbalise and understand the differences between written and spoken communication, while at the same time, unearth their own writing behaviours.

Involving a pre-course evaluation exercise as an important point of departure for objective feedback during the workshop, this interactive style of coaching will help you write logically-structured, well-motivated documents that convey your organisation's intended message.

If you often wonder about accuracy, style or structure, or simply want to find a way to make your work life easier, then this is for you!

Think differently and you will write differently.
