Workplace Communication
Email, Slack, and Professional Writing
What you'll learn
- →Write workplace messages with three rules: short sentences, clear subject lines, one ask per message.
- →Avoid the four killers of professional writing: walls of text, vague subject lines, multiple asks, no clear next step.
- →Practice writing the same message in fewer words until it can't get any shorter.
Proof task
Don't just watch. Do.
Take an email or message you're about to send. Cut it in half. Then cut it in half again. The final version is almost always clearer than the first. Send the cut version. Notice the response time.
