If you can answer yes to one or more of the following questions, you will benefit from attending this workshop.

  • Is the time you spend writing of concern to you?
  • Do you ever have a hard time just getting started?
  • Do you need to write more concisely and still be clear?
  • Do you tend to be too concise and come across as abrupt in your writing?

In the age of “Information Overload,” do you want to write emails, memos or letters that others will appreciate reading?


 This onsite seminar is not another “vanilla” writing course. Each seminar is tailored to the kind of writing participants do on the job. We make certain the topics covered meet the organization’s business writing objectives and learner’s needs. Participants get the benefit of individual and team writing exercises. They critique writing samples they have brought to class. Everyone will see a dramatic improvement in their writing skills even before the class is over.
