On April 25, join Leslie O’Flahavan and Kim Sydow Campbell on #LinkedInLive for a Fix This Writing! Session.

We’ll share an email where the writer uses words that undermine her authority and apologizes for things she has no need to be sorry for. We’ll show you how to recognize phrases that weaken your requests, suggestions, or requirements and how to replace them with stronger language—without coming across as arrogant. If there’s too much, “I’m sorry…” in your emails, this session is for you.

Each month on Fix This Writing!, we take an example of not-very-good writing, explain why it’s not good, and show you how to fix it. We’ll also talk about why the writer wrote it in that not-very good way. (We’re both writing teachers, so we’ve studied why people write the way they do!)
