What are the signs that you could improve your writing?

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 some ideas:

• Learn some more about grammar, typography and data visualisation

• Practice your skills as much as you can

• Get a coach to work with you

• Hire an editor to refine the documents you write

• Hire a ghost writer to write documents for you

I can help you with the last three of these. Contact me by email or go to my page on Calendly and arrange an introductory call with me.
