Course Outline
Through discussion, examples, and hands-on practice, participants explore how to:
- See every communication situation as an opportunity.
- Ensure communication is clear, sufficiently detailed, and collegial. Create controlled, precise communication that reflects the audience’s interests and concerns (hot buttons and pain/pinch points). Improve tone. Ensure wording is inclusive and bias-free.
- Communicate with audiences with varying expertise and familiarity with the topic.
- Draft documents, spontaneous ad hoc oral communication, and PowerPoint presentations efficiently and effectively. Use beginnings and endings as Power Positions. Organize information logically. Create flexible outlines and reusable templates.
- Emphasize important information and increase readability/accessibility of key ideas.
Participants are invited to send samples of their on-the-job writing for confidential feedback
