Working from Home? Five Tips for Clear Written Communication

• OVERVIEW

This webinar will provide you with concrete strategies for communicating in writing.

As you have seen, working from home can challenge your ability to communicate with your team members and your clientele. In particular, not being able to “drop in” to someone’s office means that you need to write more emails, more instant messages, and more memos.

This increase in writing is rife with opportunities for miscommunications. During this webinar, we will cover five strategies to ensure that your message is conveyed correctly. We will focus on both the content of your message and the tone.
 

• LEARNING OBJECTIVES

• Writing unambiguously
• Putting yourself in the shoes of your readers
• Explaining technical concepts using simple language
• Deciding when to use (and when not to use) the word “and”
• Omitting unnecessary words
• Understanding email etiquette

• WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND

Miscommunications relating to content are time-consuming, whereas miscommunications relating to tone can hurt people’s feelings. And both types of miscommunications are costly. By attending this webinar, you will help ensure that your office is operating at its fullest potential while working remotely.
