Solving the Grammar Dilemma
When you write business documents, your professional image is on every page you create. Part of that image comes from how accurately you use grammatical structures and sentence structures. This workshop will help you enhance your professional image as a writer and editor.
Description
When you write business documents, your professional image is on every page you create. Part of that image comes from how accurately you use grammatical structures and sentence structures.
Mistakes in grammar and usage undermine the readability of a document. Readers can become so focused on the errors that they lose their concentration on the message. Also, the negative impression caused by poor grammar and usage can limit your professional success because you lose credibility.
Therefore, the goal of this workshop is to enhance your professional image as a writer and editor.
