Punctuate Like a Pro!

 

My grammar seminar, Punctuate Like A Pro!, incorporates punctuation and usage guidelines into a full day of grammar information aimed at the adult business professional.  It starts with written samples from the workshop participants and conversations with anyone else who is invested in the outcome of the program.  From this information, I create a full-day program that will meet the exact needs of your department or organization. 

Recommended Resources

The Gregg Reference Manual  -- A must-own for business professionals!

1001 Pitfalls in English Grammar  will help you master verbs and their tenses.

You may think I forgot the fine work you did proofreading our visitors guide "Discover Corning."  Not so!  I have just been very slow in sending this letter of appreciation.  Everyone here at the Chamber appreciated your comments.  Your evaluation is the most comprehensive I have ever witnessed.

There’s no reason to struggle with grammar. I have innovative ways to help you remember the rules, and I'm used to working with professionals whose last day of formal schooling was 20+ years ago. 

In just one day, I can get you and/or your staff back on track and save you time, money, and embarrassment.
