What are the signs that you could improve your writing

How do you go from the one on the left to the one on the right?Allow me to make some suggestions.

First, your boss or mentor or a client tells you so.

I suspect that is quite rare. More subtle is the case where your boss or mentor or client does not tell you outright but asks questions that you thought your document had answered.

Or maybe you receive documents by other finance people and you’re impressed by how well technical material is explained. Or you wonder how they managed to make the text, charts and tables look so good.

If (when?) you identify that there is room for improvement, what should you do? Here are four ideas:

1. Learn more about grammar, typography and data visualisation and practise improving your documents yourself
2. Get a coach to work with you.
3. Hire an editor to refine the documents you write.
4. Hire a ghost writer to write documents for you.

I can help you with the last three. Contact me here
