"Sandra has a wealth of experience in the world of communication.
Just talking with her for a few minutes has inspired me to sign up with her online classes.
I am a much smaller business than her international A-Class executives and their staff that have trained with her. Still, I feel that she will take me to another level in communications—thus increasing my ability also to bring my business to the next level and beyond. Have your staff take courses with Sandra, and you will see a return on investment multiply many times over. Have a chat with Sandra, and you will understand."

Hi Dr. Karen, I have been working virtually for quite some time, well before the onset of the Corona Virus. Since change is challenging, it would be important for leaders to guide teams to see the benefits of working virtually, i.e. to look at what they currently do in their work that could fit in an online environment. As well, to brainstorm strategies that could be helpful for the transitioning process and the new opportunities. This could be a good start.

Did you see the final review that the client crafted? If you are happy with it, could you not contact the client and ask if there was anything you might do to facilitate the process of having her/him post the review. Did you tell the client how much the review meant to you? It is hard to offer...

Did you see the final review that the client crafted? If you are happy with it, could you not contact the client and ask if there was anything you might do to facilitate the process of having her/him post the review. Did you tell the client how much the review meant to you? It is hard to offer further suggestions, given that you have not included this information in your comment above.

I have used the following line when someone to whom I sent an email doesn't answer me. It would be a person whom I know or I might not be very familiar with. This is the subject line: "Did my email get lost in your inbox?" This worked really well. The person answered me quite quickly.

I only ask clients for reviews in person or on the phone. It's important to make that connection with them. Also, I want to discuss what I am hoping they will write in a review. Structuring how you would like them to write the review is important. That way they just don't ramble on about things...

I get a lot of my best ideas in the shower. I also get them from talking to people, articles and books I read, as well as from incidental occurrences. These might be an ad somewhere, an incident that occurred or an experience I have had. All of the aforementioned are seeds that sprout the creativity. You also need to be open to anything and everything you see, experience, and do.

Great question for someone like me who provides business writing skills training. First, you need to recognize that you need to improve your business writing.This is key to make anything happen. You then need to avail yourself of the services of a company that provides this type of skills improvement. An efficient consultant will first discuss your needs and look at some of your writing samples. Once this is done, recommendations are made regarding what would improve outcomes and help you master the art of well written communication. This is the kind of training/services we offer at the Language Lab.
