MAINTENANCE LEASING MANAGEMENT SUPPLIERS $179 MEMBER | $279 NON-MEMBER | QTY DISCOUNTS AVAILABLE We all know what good writing is. It’s the novel we can’t put down, the poem we never forgot, and the speech that changes the way we look at the world. Good writing is the memo that gets action and the letter that says what a phone call can’t. In business writing, the language is concrete, the point of view is clear, and the points are well expressed. Good writing is hard work, and even the best writers get discouraged. However, with practice, you can feel more confi dent about your own writing. This one-day workshop will give participants the tools to become better writers.
