Business and technical
professionals typically voice these complaints:
| • |
Writing takes too long! |
| • |
It's difficult to decide on the best flow
for complex ideas. |

How do I use a semi-colon? |
| • |
I receive conflicting feedback from my
reviewers. |
| • |
How do I make my documents appear more
professional? |
| • |
How do I convey complex information to
non-technical readers? |
After our workshops, we receive
such comments as:

I produced more in 10 minutes than
I usually do. |
| • |
I liked the general approach of
looking at the needs of the reader when structuring the
document. |
| • |
The best idea was reversing the order of
thinking about papers: key ideas first, then organization,
sentences, and, finally, punctuation. |
| • |
Thank you for clearing up my punctuation
questions. |
| • |
I now have a model for discussing writing
issues. |

I didn't realize how visual impact can
