“Executives are prisoners of the notion that a simple style reflects a simple mind. Actually, a simple style is the result of hard work and hard thinking.”
In the world of work, language projects our personal and professional identity and efficiency. However, due to lack of awareness of the practical skills involved, and pressured deadlines, we rush our documents – or delay them. This workshop empowers delegates to tune into the craft of writing and their personal stumbling blocks. It provides the tools essential for professional writing.
Objectives:
* write a professional executive report
* translate ideas and facts into writing
* be articulate – even if English is not the home language
* overcome personal barriers
* be aware of the core components of good business writing
* avoid long-windedness – write a response that is concise and to-the-point
* be able to write in a style that is simple and accurate – and yet sophisticated
* save time and develop personal confidence
* improve department efficiency
Programme
* interesting and relevant source material
* exposure to models of good writing
* practical exercises
* intereractive activities
* learn how to :
- translate thoughts into words
- effectively convey info/facts in writing
- practically construct sentences and paragraphs
