Most people in business offices today spend approximately 20-25 per cent of their time writing. Yet writing is a skill that few people seek to improve. With so many emails, letters, reports and other documents to write, and with time being an issue, writing effectively can be very demanding. However, the truth is that your writing skills can make a big difference to your efficiency, productivity and career success.
In this hugely popular, comprehensive workshop, Shirley Taylor, best-selling author of many business writing books, will show you some simple but powerful techniques that will help you to write effectively. You will refresh your writing style, and learn Shirley's unique HEART-based formula for success in all your communications.
