Imagine this situation:
A colleague has just sent you an email relating to a meeting you’re having in one hour’s time. The email is supposed to contain key information that you need to present, as part of the business case for an important project.
But there’s a problem: the email is so badly written that you can’t find the data you need. There are misspellings and incomplete sentences, and the paragraphs are so long and confusing that it takes you three times more than it should to find the information you want.
As a result, you’re under-prepared for the meeting, and it doesn’t go as well as you want it to.
Have you ever faced a situation similar to this? In today’s information overload world, it’s vital to communicate clearly, concisely and effectively.
The better your writing skills are, the better the impression you’ll make on the people around you – including your boss, your colleagues, and your clients. You never know how far these good impressions will take you!
