SUMMARY:Zoom Workshop: Clear Communication via E-mail
DESCRIPTION:As professionals\, we communicate important information\, and we want those who read our emails to fully grasp the messages as we intended. To do that\, we need to excel in writing with confidence\, positivity\, and clarity. This workshop addresses all of those aspects.\n\n \n\nPresented by Communication Skills Advisor Elizabeth (Liza) MacDonald\, the workshop focuses on writing professional emails with our busy readers in mind. In this fast-paced\, interactive workshop\, we will transform\, as a group\, a problematic email into one that is:\n\n	Clear\n	On topic\n	Visibly easy-to-read or skim\n	Succinct yet contains the necessary information\n	Positively constructed\n\n \n\nThis workshop will also give our emails a content and formatting tune-up: eliminating extraneous phrases\, correcting ubiquitous grammar problems\, and identifying sentences we inadvertently phrase in the negative and changing them to positively phrased sentences so they are clearer and more appealing.\n\n \n\nPeople who have taken this workshop tell Liza they now approach their email writing more intentionally. Elizabeth MacDonald equips professionals who are already good communicators to be even better. Twelve years ago\, she launched The Verbal Edge\, which provides individual consultations and customized communication skills workshops most of which are virtual at this point.\n\n \n\nHer background includes:\n\n\n	Award-winning TV reporter\, anchor\, and co-host of evening talk shows in Fort Wayne\, Indiana and Norfolk/Virginia Beach\n	Administrator / Communication specialist for Fort Wayne Community Schools\n	High school English teacher\n	She is the author of Sharpen Your Verbal Edge:101 Tips to Enhance Your Professional Communication Skills. Several companies have purchased it for their staffs.\n	Elizabeth graduated from Indiana University with a B.S. in Education--focusing on sociology\, history and English. She completed her masters work and graduate orals in Broadcast Communication at San Francisco State University and interned at KPIX-TV in San Francisco.
