The two biggest requests that I've received from clients over the past year have been Writing Effective and Efficient E-mail and Powerful Executive Summaries. And those clients have spanned a broad range of sectors and industries: banking, insurance, legal, transportation, government, and nonprofit social services.
The reasons for these calls are simple: the course format and the relevant content. Both of these courses are one-day-only offerings, which suit the intense time pressure exacted on staff these days. Both reflect the real deal: the e-mail course (http://philvassallo.com/writingemail.html) is a natural because e-mail is the means by which most on-the-job writing is done these days; the executive summary course (http://philvassallo.com/executivesummaries.html) is in demand since the challenge is greater than ever to compress huge amounts of critical information into precise, high-level messages for executive review.
The reaction to these courses has been excellent. Participants get to practice writing in real-life situations and receive extensive feedback throughout the day. The requests for repeat offerings tell the story.
