WRITING
FOR RESULTS:A
WORKSHOP
Stitelman
Associates has found that managers and professionals
spend, on average, over 30% of their time writing. Yet many of
them have never had any writing instruction. In other words, they
are doing a job for which they were never formally trained. Writing
for Results: A Workshop presents a systematic approach to
communicating ideas more effectively in writing.
