Language Simplification: Elevating Your Communications
Looking to make your communications clear, concise, and impactful? Join ComNetworkDENVER for a hands-on workshop with Lee Shainis, founder of Simplify Language.
During the session, Lee will share practical, actionable tools to:
Make your spoken and written communication easier for people to quickly understand.
Reduce your written communication by 20-50% without removing content or “dumbing it down."
Improve equity, access, inclusion, recruitment, retention, trust, and belonging.
Make translations better, easier, and more economical—an often-neglected piece of language justice.
Attendees will discuss the impacts of simplifying and practice the skills using real-life examples.
