Effective business writing is not only a key tool, it defines one’s image as a business person or entrepreneur. Join the San Juan County Economic Development Council for a free workshop on the topic of Advanced Writing for Business, on Wednesday, May 10 from 10-11 a.m. on San Juan Island. Advanced registration is required.
The secret to effective writing for business purposes is organization, directness, and simplicity. Noted management consultant and author, Mike Sanders will present five tools to allow you to double writing speed and reader’s comprehension – to write powerfully and fast. These tools include clear, familiar words, short sentences with a single point, active voice sentence construction, using paragraph headings, and employing journalistic style. Free handouts including laminated quick reference cards and Business Writing Certification are included.
Details: San Juan Island, Wednesday, May 10th from 10-11 a.m. at Windermere Real Estate, 50 Spring Street in Friday Harbor. Free workshop; advance registration is required. Please call 360-378-2906 to reserve your space, or email: info@sanjuansedc.org.
