Learn five techniques to avoid miscommunications with your clients and co-workers.
This program covers five techniques for drafting clear emails and documentation. By applying these techniques, you will ensure that your clients and colleagues can fully understand your written communication, even when the content is complex.
Throughout this engaging video, the instructor will display before-and-after examples that demonstrate the five techniques for writing clearly. The program will challenge you to identify why each writing example is unclear before the instructor offers suggestions for revision.
Upon learning the five techniques for achieving clarity, you will be able to visualize your own writing from the perspective of your readers. As a result, your readers will be more likely to approve of your ideas.
Who Should Attend?
CPAs who communicate internally will find valuable advice in this webinar, and CPAs who communicate externally will find it indispensable.
Specific Example:
Consider the following sentence:
“I am teaching a course about writing clearly to CPAs.”
· How should that sentence be interpreted? If you look closely, there are two reasonable alternatives.
o Alternative 1: I am teaching a course about writing clearly, and my attendees are CPAs.
o Alternative 2: I am teaching a course about writing clearly, and my attendees are people who have to write to CPAs (and must do so in a clear fashion).
