Good communication with our team is vital in SFI, but what if we are not good writers; how do we learn to write well?
Darla, Hi!
We live in an age when we are constantly bombarded with communications of every sort – actually most of it is designed to persuade us to buy or do something or to a particular way of thinking. The communication is given a “spin” and to protect ourselves from falling prey to the “spin doctors” we need to learn all sorts of ways to distinguish truth from “spin”.
I would suggest that we shouldn’t aspire to become a “spin doctor”. Rather let us strive for integrity. Of course, we are already halfway there, because SFI is such a great ethical company. We already stand on “the shoulders” of its reputation and record, its guarantees and the quality of its productS and service. I really love all these things about SFI!
We don’t need to be a modern day Shakespeare or a word-smith. Rather, I recommend that we just be “ourselves”. Talk from the heart, talk from conviction, talk with passion. Most importantly, talk from experience. And write as you would speak everyday, using everyday language.
But before you do your writing do your research. Check the facts. (It’s a real shame that so many “answers” in Ask SC and the Forum are incorrect or, at best, incomplete.)
Finally before submitting your answer read it through again. Perhaps even speak it aloud. If it doesn’t sound right or if something is unclear, re-write it. And here’s a tip -for really important communications I write it one day then sleep on it and review it again the next morning before sending it.
And the best thing you can do Darla, is START writing. A few bumbles along the way is not a criminal offence AND you will learn as you go. Remember, YOU CAN DO IT!
