This workshop covers three key areas: clarity (express your ideas clearly), brevity (write in short, plain English) and delivery (understand the dynamics of various business media). You will learn how to:

• find the core idea behind any piece of communication
• distill long, complex concepts into a few tight paragraphs
• avoid the mind-numbing detail which makes readers’ eyes glaze over.

• the simple rules of correct punctuation
• the proper way to write numbers and abbreviations.
