The Business Writing Workshop
The Executive Writer's business-writing workshop,
Plan, Write & Proofread Twice, is a hands-on, interactive course that teaches participants the rules-free process that professionals use to write smarter and faster in plain English. This course is not a watered-down review of a traditional Writing 101 class. The method taught, which is based on contemporary academic and workplace research, introduces a new approach to teaching writing. This approach includes a four-step process, which shows participants how to quickly produce clear and concise writing time after time.
The course includes individual and group exercises plus plenty of open discussion to reinforce the theory. Because the memo is the epitome of clear and concise writing-and memo-writing skills will transfer to all other business-writing assignments-the workshop focuses on how to master the one-page (or less) memo. In addition, participants will develop their Writer's Intuition, problem-solving and decision-making abilities, proofreading skills, and the ability to analyze and synthesize complex material. The Plan, Write & Proofread Twice workshop will be customized to meet the on-the-job writing needs of the participants and includes, in addition to the one-page memo, instruction on writing the types of assignments they do most often at work.
