Some say life is too short to sweat the small stuff. But the small things we do every day, each combining with the others, are what make life large. And if we don't get the basics right, we'll never succeed to the extent that we desire.
Too often, though, the people on whom we rely the most expose their flaws through the way they communicate in writing. Finding obvious punctuation mistakes in a letter, grammatical errors in signage, or weak writing skills in a newsletter from an organization that we had viewed as highly professional can be a severe letdown. These small mistakes can generate very large changes in our attitudes toward a company, an association, or a consultant.
Improving Your Business Writing is designed to help executives strengthen their written communications, improve their accuracy, and increase their effectiveness. In seminar form, this program is available to groups of employees. Or for one-on-one training, we review samples of the executive's written communications and then offer the techniques and advice required to make his or her writing more powerful and productive

- Strengthening your writing
- Commonly overlooked or misunderstood basic rules
