LS 211: Writing More Effectively: Practical Skills to Make You a Better Communicator

The Challenge

Few people enjoy the writing process. It’s hard. It’s often intimidating.

And once we get it done, we’re seldom happy with the wordy results.

This workshop presents methods for becoming a better, faster, and more effective writer. Because good leaders are good communicators.

We can’t make your memories of writing high school essays any softer. But we can make the writing process less intimidating for the future!

The Workshop

The workshop will benefit all employees—at all levels of responsibility—who write to communicate. It will also help supervisors coach their subordinates to improve writing.

We’ll explore several key skills and workshop hands-on examples together:

• To identify, understand, and write to our audience.
• To write concisely with active voice, strong verbs, and true subjects.
• To design our documents so they’ll engage our readers.
• To gain credibility through correctness.
