Whatever you write says a lot about you - to your employer, colleagues, clients, and potential clients and employers. Over time, those skills can decay. This session will be part presentation and part conversation. In it, you will gain new skills and insights, but also have the opportunity to engage in an interactive conversation that will allow Lynda to tailor her talk to what we need most.
Key takeaways:
- Learn six way to write faster - even one that Hemingway was famous for using
- Gain two vital techniques for organizing your writing that will give you an "Ah-ha" moment - perhaps even an important breakthrough
- Discover what most people do that cripples their writing and how to avoid it
- Why spending too much time trying to write a perfect first draft is self-sabotaging.
-
- Learn the power of a crummy first draft
- Understand the writing truism "less is more"
- Apply professional editing skills to your work
- Learn how to be memorable (in a good way)
If you want to learn how to be more logical, engaging, accurate, organized, relevant, and memorable in your writing, join Lynda and all the friendly people who attend the Mount Diablo ASTD chapter Speaker's Dinner at the Club. You're invited and you'll be glad you came. We look forward to seeing you on the 18th. Register now!
