About Steve Lance

Your writing makes a first and lasting impression on your stakeholders. Is it clear and direct? Does it inspire and instruct? Does it produce the effect and results you want?Your voice, your skills, your credibility, your impact and your legacy are buried under a pile of bad writing habits. Things we were taught in school that don’t serve us as business people. And using an AI prompt will only produce more of the same. Just grammatically correct. Consider these facts:• Most Americans judge a person\'s intelligence by their writing • Surveys continue to show that you lose credibility with your audience if you use words incorrectly• Over a third of your peers, clients, managers and associates speak English as their second languageGood business writing is simple, clear and direct.It\'s not laden with fancy adjectives and multisyllabic words you learned in school.Best of all, it\'s easy to become a skilled communicator, because you don\'t have to learn anything new; you just have to learn to forget all the bad \"rules\" you were taught.As an award-winning writer, author, creative director, ghostwriter and lecturer, I\'ve helped hundreds of executives sharpen their writing skills, understand and craft useful AI prompts, learn how to move between different platforms and different audiences, and know how to simplify their messaging. Coaching writing and working with chatbots isn\'t about spelling, punctuation or grammar. It\'s about discovering YOUR voice and YOUR style and learning to write like yourself. Just a few hours of one-on-one coaching can give you the skills you need to:• Confidently articulate your ideas to stakeholders for improved impact• Improve the likelihood of making the sale• Get your message across faster and clearer• Be the person they want to meet• Speak to all your stakeholders in their voice• Give chatbots effective training and direction• Write in YOUR voice.Get in touch for a free consultation and assessment of your writing strengths and skills.
