Session Synopsis:
We work in a world that is absolutely flooded by information. Too many emails, too many social media and chat apps and yet a shrinking attention span. This session is designed to help you craft ‘brain-friendly’ communication and understand your own limited capacity for to retain information. How do we create better, more impactful communication? This session will show you how!
- Understanding information overload and tech stress
- Important elements to consider when creating emails and written materials that people will read and respond to appropriately
- The power of colour and visual elements
- How to plan and prepare better communication
- How to encourage better email/electronic message etiquette across your team
This session is designed to give you practical tips on how to create information that will actually be read and responded to appropriately. Business writing doesn’t (and shouldn’t be boring)!
