Looking to refresh your leadership development in 2024?
Most of us have to write every day: e-mails, letters, memos, reports, analyses, project summaries, product descriptions - the list goes on. But how many of us feel confident in our ability to get messages across effectively? Do we always think about what we're going to write and the best way to communicate to our target audience? Those who don't get their message across in the right way or make obvious errors in their writing are at a disadvantage. This topic will help you ensure that your writing is not only read, but is fully understood as you intended.

You’ve probably heard people saying that good writing is important, but why does it really matter?
Think about what can happen if a document is poorly written – for example, if your readers can’t figure out what actions you need them to take, or if your key points are hidden behind lots of words. And think about how your readers might perceive you if they notice lots of spelling mistakes or grammatical errors. The stakes might be very high indeed!
The written work you produce is a reflection of both you and your organisation – no matter whether you’re writing a formal business report, an email, or a social media post.
Good writing skills let you express yourself clearly and concisely, avoid misunderstandings, and make you stand out in a positive way. This can open new doors for you, help you progress toward your goals, and build your network and your career.
This 90-minute session will teach you how to beat common mistakes, including a series of ‘grammar gremlins’ and several tricky words that sound the same but mean different things. It will also show you how to use style and tone to improve the clarity and effectiveness of your writing, and write consistently in ‘plain English’.
By the end of this session you will be able to:
