Course description
There is a rule of thumb in business writing that the first draft of everything is 20% too long - at least. We all pick up habits as we go through working life, so it is a good idea to go back to first principles once in a while to critique our own writing styles. There are more structures available for business documents than many people realise.
This 1 hour introductory-level webinar will take you back to basics to improve your skills, discussing how to identify surplus words, the 9 essential structures used for business documents, active and passive voice, sentence length and tabulation, and making the page as reader friendly as possible. Presenter John Trimbos is a hugely popular speaker who has specialised in skills and management training for many years. Find out why a recent delegate commented, "Fantastic! Funny, engaging and made everything clear".
