Why Learn to Write Well? with Erin Lebacqz

You write all the time. Texts, memos, presentation headers, tweets, posts on LinkedIn. And emails. So many emails. But experience doesn't beget effectiveness; even the best writers make mistakes. And writing is high stakes–how we convey our ideas, concerns, questions, and feedback will determine how others see us as professionals and as people. In this episode, we hear from Erin Lebacqz, the founder of High Value Writing, where she helps workplace writers achieve their professional and personal potential. With over 25 years of experience teaching writing, Erin understands that writing is difficult because writing is complicated. How do you connect with your reader? What information do you include, and what do you exclude? How do you communicate clearly, without compromising relationships? Writing is grueling work. But when we write well, we're more likely to apply for (and get) that internship or dream job. We feel more confident about asking questions or sharing a concern. We build trust with our colleagues, and we earn respect from others. When we write well, we optimize our ability to be effective, both professionally and personally.
