Writing Training

"The skill of writing is to establish a context in which others can think." Edwin Schlossberg, Author, Educator

"According to some studies, humanity's greatest fear is public speaking. The second is death. Does that sound right? That means to the typical person, if you go to a funeral, you're better off expired than delivering the eulogy." John Steinbeck, Novelist

When you are writing or speaking in public, successful communication starts and ends with the what -- the content. The how will come much easier. If writing training and presentation skills training help you in gaining success (and you will have confidence because you'll be a trained pro) you'll have no issues writing or speaking in public.

In order to accomplish that, aided by writing training, remember the three pillars of effective business communication, whether written or spoken:

Writing exercises the mind. Compared to an unplanned conversation, writing -- whether a presentation to a client or a report for the boss or a sales pitch -- furnishes you the opportunity to show how smart you are.

Know your audience and your readers. Are they advanced or beginners? Are they experts? Do they want to be amused or trained or persuaded? What do you want them to get from your report?

Plan and rewrite and, in the case of public speaking, practice time and again. If you do not check your work with care before sending it, or rehearse the style and delivery of your presentation, you risk looking sloppy and unprofessional. It's called QC (quality control), without which excellent communication is nearly impossible.
