Trainer & Consultant

Mary Menke has more than 30 years of business writing experience and enjoys helping others become more effective writers. She honed her training skills by working for several years as an independent contractor/trainer for a major public seminar company.

Mary knows that mainly due to the advent of the Internet and the changing roles of secretaries, business writing has changed dramatically. She also understands that being skilled at one’s job doesn’t necessarily translate into being a good writer. With The 10 Commandments of Business Writing, she delivers practical, easy-to-understand content that will make even the most reluctant writer more comfortable with the writing process.

Workshop participants will learn:

• How writing skills (or lack thereof) affect credibility
• How to approach writing projects with confidence
• How to jump-start the process
• How to eliminate irrelevant information and unnecessary words
• How to write documents with openings that get the reader’s attention, bodies that tell them what they need to know, and conclusions that do more than say “the end”
