You can’t develop a plan\, or gain consensus\, or highlight new experiences or tell brand stories or inspire\, motivate or persuade people inside or outside your organization without strong writing skills. That’s why the latest Wor kopolis survey of Canadian employers ranked Communications and Writing as the #1 and #2 most valuable workplace skills.\nYet not everyone charged wi th a communications responsibility is a “writer”. Many people are thrown i nto this role without the training required to write effectively in a styl e that is both direct and engaging. That’s the value of this seminar. It h elps participants write with more purpose. It helps participants find a na tural\, yet compelling writing voice. In the end\, you will be more mindfu l of the writing process and will learn a series of methods\, tips and too ls that will help you raise your writing – and your career – to the next l evel.\nA lot of people find writing painful – or at a minimum awkward or u ncomfortable. Yet we are all natural talkers and storytellers. So why do m any of us freeze up when sitting in front of our keyboards? Because we don ’t view writing as innate as we do with speech. We feel we have to be more formal and authoritative\, writing in a more distant and disembodied voic e. Today\, writing also shows the ill effects of our texting and social me dia shorthand habits as this style creeps into our communications. These a pproaches create an obstacle to forming a connection with your readers. Wr iting is about more than the transfer of information\, it’s about nurturin g relationships with a colleague\, prospect\, customer\, vendor\, partner or boss.\nThis seminar is for anyone who generates newsletters\, organizat ional emails\, reports\, presentations\, proposals or social media posts w ho’s looking for ways to make their writing stand out and be more effectiv e.\n*If you have previously attended the Communications Writing seminar pl ease do not register for this session as the content is similar.
