Make your writing work for you!

Communication is essential in every aspect of life—from achieving business goals to academic success and building relationships.

 

Enhance your writing skills to both inform and connect with your reader by incorporating clarity, concision, and emotional intelligence.

Effective Communication: Two Goals

Writing is just as interactive as speaking! That’s right—just as a speaker interacts with a listener, a writer interacts with a reader.

 

Effective writing is not only about what we’re writing, but about our relationship with our reader. That’s why it is so important that we balance the two writing goals when we write: Informational and Relational.

Informational Goals

  • Is the message clear and concise?

  • Can the reader take action immediately?

  • Are the needed details included?

Relational Goals

  • Will the reader feel respected?

  • Does the message have the right tone?

  • What order works best for my reader?

  • How does the reader feel about the topic?

U.S. businesses lose at least $128 billion each year due to employees wasting time trying to communicate effectively. - Loom, 2023

The Cost of Miscommunication

Workplace miscommunication can be costly. Poorly written emails, briefings, proposals, or performance reviews can harm morale, productivity, and collaboration. 

 

According to a recent report by Loom, workplace miscommunication is a significant economic risk for U.S. businesses.

 

High-Value Writing offers solutions to mitigate these risks and enhance your writing skills.
