November 28, 2007Reader Success Story: A favor returned
I have always had trouble sounding too blunt in written correspondence. My writing is succinct and to the point without any fancy dressing. Some people took it as blunt and mean. I attended a talk given by you at the suggestion of my supervisor in order to try to curb this tendency.
Since hearing you I have tried to be very proactive in my writing, reading everything two and three times to make sure it doesn’t sound short. I even asked a co-worker if she would read letters that I am not sure about before I sent them. I was surprised when she responded; “Sure, in fact I was wondering if you would read mine, I am always too wordy and you seem to get right to the point in your letters and emails”. We now work together to help each other.
