Business Writing Skills
Introducing a one-day workshop packed with skills you’ll use every day to make a powerful impact — quickly and easily — every time you put words to paper.

Program Description:
Dear Professional:
Good business writing grabs your readers’ attention ... it commands involvement, enhances understanding and inspires action. Simply put, good business writing
gets results.
While the objective of every business writing project is simple, many professionals flounder when they put words to paper. That’s usually because they’ve bought into ideas about writing that just aren’t true. For instance, do you ever find yourself thinking ...
“Good writing is a talent you have or you don’t, and I’m a ‘have not.’ ”
“Writing is a laborious, frustrating process.”
“Good business writing adheres to strict grammar and composition rules, and I’m not interested in nor do I have time to memorize a bunch of rules.”
If you can converse successfully in your organization, you can be a good
business writer ...
- Writing skills CAN be learned
- You CAN cut your writing time by 30 percent to 40 percent and reduce
the frustration dramatically
- And, you don’t have to memorize hundreds of rules
Maybe best of all, when you attend this workshop, we’ll show you how to avoid all of the dread and most of the drudgery in your business writing.
Take this important career-enhancing step toward better writing by enrolling in How to Write Better & Faster today!
Sincerely,
John Carey
Director of Curriculum
P.S. Did you know that 98 percent of top executives cite effective business writing skills as those most critical to professional recognition and personal success? Make a commitment to your personal and professional development by enrolling in this workshop today!
