COACHING
COMMUNICATIONS:
WINNING WRITING
What is your main area of on-the-job expertise: Accounting? Insuring?
Banking? Computing? Managing property? Engineering?
Whatever your area of specialization,
writing skills may not be at the top of your list when you compile
your assets for an upcoming performance appraisal! However, as a
manager, supervisor, team leader, or whatever your job may be, you are often expected to
write or coach
staff members on your team responsible for composing the following:
- Correspondence
sent out on company letterhead, sometimes even for your signature.
- Proposals
affecting the company's bottom line.
- Inter-office
memorandums.
- E-mail
messages.
Your
responsibilities may take two forms as you develop a "playbook"
for your team:
- You
first need to write a winning document or message. Designed
around a baseball analogy, this course will help you score with
your paragraphs, sentences, words, and
formats.
- You
then want to critique what you or your staff members have
written. This course offers you the opportunity to plan
and share with the class team what you will stop, continue, and
start doing for winning writing.
If
your goal is to sharpen the skills needed so you can efficiently and
effectively improve your writing and help those on your team, you
will feel like a winner
after this workshop!
Two
companion COACHING COMMUNICATIONS courses help you and your
teammates defend on the writing and speaking playing fields:
- EFFECTIVE
EDITING catches written grammar, punctuation, and spelling
errors.
- SAVVY
SPEAKING catches oral grammar, pronunciation, and tone of
voice errors.
