Target Writing
A 4 or 6-Hour Seminar to Help You Write E-Mails, Letters, Memos & Reports More Efficiently & Effectively

Poor written communication among staff, vendors and customers will always cost you time and money. For instance, calculate the amount of time required to create a document (i.e. letter, memo, e-mail or report). Now calculate the time it takes to send out clarifications, or answer questions, because your readers didn't understand the message you thought was clearly stated in your document.

Written messages are often misinterpreted because we tend to write like writers, and not like readers. As a result, we often ignore how our readers will perceive our chosen writing format, style and even content.

Anyone who needs to effectively communicate their message quickly.

What will I learn?

You will learn how to:

● Write organized & readable memos, letters & reports
● Create effective writing plans for all types of projects
● Research key information quickly and accurately
● Communicate your message efficiently and effectively
● Avoid grammar & punctuation errors that can hurt your credibility

Why do you have different format lengths for the same seminar?

Some individuals can't spend a full day away from work - and some find it difficult to remain focused during a full-day seminar. Therefore, we created a 4-hour seminar format to present you with all of the strategies necessary to achieve your learning objectives. Of course, we assume you will immediately return to work after the seminar and apply these strategies to ensure maximum retention.

During our 6-hour format you will have the opportunity to extensively practice our strategies on your own work-related materials (i.e. document types or issues that you find personally challenging).

What makes this seminar different?

A strong linear thinker will find it difficult to comprehend a document written in a global format - just as a strong global thinker would find a detailed and linear format tedious. Consequently, if your writing doesn't cater to your readers' particular learning and thinking strengths, your true message may be hidden from view, despite how it clear it may seem to you.

In this seminar, you will learn how to create formats that grab the attention of your reader, and content that motivates your reader to take immediate action.
