Five Rules for Writing Clearly

Do you ever receive questions about what you meant in your writing?

If you or your team members could benefit from honing your writing skills, join us for an engaging webinar.

During the session, we will cover five techniques for drafting clear emails and documents. By applying these techniques in your writing, you will avoid misunderstandings with your clients and co-workers, even when your topic is complex.

Over time, proficient writing will lead to the approval of your ideas and, ultimately, opportunities for career advancement.

Upon completion of this program, you will be able to:

• explain technical concepts using simple language;
• decide when to repeat a term versus when to use a synonym;
• determine when to use (and when to avoid) the word “and”;
• identify misplaced modifiers and ambiguous references; and
• draft emails and documents that are easy to read — even for non-experts.

The overarching goal of this program is to help you visualize your own writing from the perspective of your readers. By adopting the mindset of a reader, you will be able to identify and eliminate potential sources of confusion.
