"There's no crying in baseall..."


Someone at a major university spent a lot of time creating this very clever and attractive piece of artwork that accompanied an E-mail sent to those who had bought tickets to the school's athletic events. As you see, the graphic features kids at play, a caricature of the school's mascot (blacked-out here to protect the school's identity), and photos of the school's softball and baseball teams, as well.


But, no one ran spell check on the text.
When you create your message, whether it's graphic art like this, an E-mail, a speech, a memo, whatever it may be, strive to be error-free in your communication. Everybody makes mistakes. The secret is to keep your mistakes from ever seeing the light of day. Mistakes do send a message about you, and it's not a good one. The effect of the creative piece shown here is diminished by a careless error. And it makes you wonder about the quality of this "major university".
That's just one of the areas of focus we'll cover in your "Break Through the Clutter" Communication Seminar. Call or E-mail today to schedule a presentation for your group. 913-631-2985, or bkthrucomm@aol.com.
