We’ve all long heard about writing practices to avoid, including run-on sentences, excessive passive voice, and
nominalization. This webinar not only discusses how those habits can damage briefs, but also explores a key
habit brief-writers should embrace: using strong, precise verbs, which are the engine of a persuasive sentence.
Panelists also exchange views about finding the most persuasive voice and tone, as well as the right
temperature for rhetoric (usually, well below a simmer).
This webinar is delivered in Plain English, understandable to you even if you do not have a background
in the subject. It brings you into an engaging, even sometimes humorous, conversation designed to
entertain as it teaches. And, it is specifically designed to be viewed as a stand-alone webinar, meaning
that you do not have to view the other webinars in the series to get a lot out of it.
