COACHING
COMMUNICATIONS:
EMPLOYEE WRITING
What
is your main area of on-the-job expertise: Accounting? Insuring?
Banking? Computing? Engineering? Whatever your area of specialization,
writing skills may not be at the top of your list when you compile
your assets for an upcoming performance appraisal! However, as a
manager, supervisor, or team leader, you are often expected to coach
staff members on your team responsible for composing the following:
- Correspondence
sent out on company letterhead, sometimes even for your signature.
- Proposals
affecting the company's bottom line.
- Inter-office
memorandums.
- E-mail
messages.
Your
coaching responsibilities take two forms as you develop a "playbook"
for your team:
- You
first need to critique what your staff members have written, so
creating a checklist of winning writing skills is necessary. Designed
around a baseball analogy, this course will help you train your
teammates to score with their paragraphs, sentences, words, and
formats.
- You
must then convey your reactions to your employees' writing, so
mastering various communication techniques is vital.
If
as a coach you want to sharpen those skills needed so you can efficiently
and effectively help your writing teams, you will feel like a winner
after this workshop!
Two
companion COACHING COMMUNICATIONS courses show how coaches
can help their teammates defend on the writing and speaking fields:
- EMPLOYEE
EDITING catches written grammar, punctuation, and spelling
errors.
- EMPLOYEE
SPEAKING catches oral grammar, pronunciation, and tone of
voice errors.
