Almost every job involves some kind of writing. See if any of the following apply to you when it comes to the kinds of writing you do at work:
• You have some problems you would fix if you could.
• You just need to strengthen and polish your writing some.
• Your writing needs to be more focused, clear, simple.
• You need help with projects that involve a lot of writing.
• You need help preparing important reports or proposals.
Whether you're an executive, a new employee or somewhere in between, if you think any of these writing-related situations are holding you back, or if getting some help with them could get you ahead, I can help.

Writing on the job can be hard work. From the top manager on down, almost every job requires some kind of writing. Do you struggle with the writing your job requires? Are you embarrassed by memos or letters you write? Do your reports or proposals require endless drafts? Does it take too long to write something that satisfies you? Maybe you just think your writing needs some polishing. Perhaps you need help with writing projects or preparing an important report or proposal. If you’re like a lot of other people, the everyday writing that’s part of your job is a less-than-enjoyable task. It can also be holding you back.
You are being judged by your writing. Writing skills rank high on the list of qualities most employers want. Even if writing is only a small part of your job, how well you write can have a lot to do with how successful you are. Whatever your job is, putting your thoughts and ideas into words in a clear and simple way is becoming more important. Technology is changing how you communicate on the job. Your writing is probably being seen by a lot more people than you think, especially now that it can be shared by e-mail and accessed on networks and the Internet.
Most people share the same writing problems. See if you recognize yourself. You lack confidence in your writing. So you put off writing a report or memo, then you struggle with it and have to let it go before you’re happy with it. Or, writing seems too personal. It’s difficult to put your thoughts and ideas into words for others to read and judge. You worry you might embarrass yourself. Or, writing just overwhelms you. You think you missed something when everyone else was learning how to write, and now it’s too late to catch up.
