Pre-Conference Workshop

Women in Construction – West Coast Conference has teamed up with Graceworks to offer a Pre-Conference Workshop.

Fat-Free Gracewriting: Put Your Writing on a Diet!

Wimpy writing just doesn’t get results! Gracewriting® teaches you to write with power by being clear, concise and correct. We help you write with grace by putting your reader’s needs first.
In today’s lightning-fast business environment, no one has time to read wordy emails, letters or reports. It’s just good business to write succinctly and correctly, creating energized documents that connect with the reader.
This Graceworks workshop involves a lot more than putting pen to paper. We play games. We compete. We make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches! What does that have to do with better writing? Everything! Be ready to be big and bold as you experience Gracewriting®.
