Fat-Free Gracewriting
Speaker: Jen Hebblethwaite, Graceworks
Wimpy writing just doesn’t get results! Gracewriting teaches you to write with power by being clear, concise and correct. We help you write with grace by putting your reader’s needs first.
Fat-Free Gracewriting is our module that focuses on writing clearly and concisely. In today’s lightening-fast business environment, no one has time to read wordy emails, letters, or proposals. Murky writing certainly isn’t going to get us from the RFP to the shortlist. It’s time to put our writing on a diet!
Our workshop involves a lot more than putting pen to paper. We play games. We compete. We make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches! What does that have to do with better writing? Everything! Be ready to be big and bold as you experience Gracewriting.
