1 Clarity First

Clarity should be your top priority when communicating in writing at work. Begin by knowing your purpose and your audience. What do you want to achieve with your message, and who will be reading it? Use simple language and short sentences to make your point. Avoid jargon unless it's commonly understood in your field. If you must use technical terms, explain them briefly. Organize your thoughts logically, with a clear beginning, middle, and end. Remember, if your message isn't clear, the communication has failed.

Of course these are effective ways beside establishing core principles that are obviously not to be changed unless declared,, principles save a lot of time and explanations

Clarity in medical writing is not just a skill but a necessity. Communicating complex scientific information clearly ensures that it is accessible to a diverse audience, from healthcare professionals to patients. Each document I craft begins with understanding its purpose and audience, using straightforward language to enhance understanding without oversimplifying. The effectiveness of medical literature hinges on its clarity—because if the message isn't clear, it doesn't just fail; it could impact patient outcomes.

2 Tone Matters

The tone of your written communications can greatly influence how your message is received. Strive for a professional yet approachable tone. Be courteous and considerate, keeping in mind the reader's perspective. Adjust your tone depending on the formality of the document and the relationship you have with the recipient. For instance, an email to a close colleague can be less formal than a report for senior management. Always reread your writing to ensure the tone is consistent with your intent.

I am curious on tone and hold a different perspective. Personally, I do not think emails are to be read with the reader's perspective but still learning on this.

In medical writing, the tone of our communications is as crucial as the content itself. We strive for clarity and accessibility while maintaining the utmost professionalism. Whether it’s a detailed report for a regulatory body or a simple update to clinical trial participants, the tone must be carefully tailored to the audience's needs and the document's purpose. Revising to ensure tone consistency not only enhances readability but also reinforces the credibility and reliability of the information presented.

3 Proofreading Power

Proofreading is a critical step in written communication that is often overlooked. Errors in spelling, grammar, and punctuation can undermine your credibility and distract from your message. Take the time to review your writing carefully. Use spellcheck tools, but don't rely on them completely. Reading your text aloud can help catch mistakes and awkward phrasing that you might miss when reading silently. Consider asking a trusted colleague to review important documents for a fresh perspective.

La claridad es incluso más importante que una ortografía perfecta. El buen escritor es, antes que nada, un buen pensador: alguien que sabe explicar una idea compleja de manera clara, contundente y memorable. Una buena ortografía, puntuación y gramática deben estar al servicio de la claridad: de nada sirve redactar oraciones técnicamente impecables si, en vez de fomentar la claridad, la oscurecen. Además de revisar comas, puntos y mayúsculas, hay algo muy importante qué revisar: ?cómo puedo decir lo mismo con menos palabras? ?Necesito releer un párrafo para entender la idea que acabo de leer? ?Me distraigo durante la lectura o ésta mantiene mi atención?

4 Conciseness Counts

Being concise is key in business writing. Your colleagues are busy, and brevity shows respect for their time. Get to the point quickly without sacrificing clarity or politeness. Cut out unnecessary words and redundant phrases. Use bullet points or numbered lists to break down complex information when appropriate. However, ensure each section is a complete paragraph as per the rules of this article. Remember, more words do not necessarily mean more clarity.

El primer borrador de un texto normalmente no es muy conciso. No importa, para eso es el primer borrador. Primero desahoga tus ideas, sácalas de tu mente y, cuando ya estén en el papel o la pantalla, dedícate a pulirlas y ordenarlas. Ser conciso de una de las cosas más difíciles que uno puede hacer al escribir, por lo que no es algo que comúnmente se pueda lograr al primer intento. Lo mejor es iterar: redactar, luego editar. Luego volver a editar. Luego volver a editar. Luego volver a editar.

5 Feedback Loop

Seeking and acting on feedback is essential for improving your written communication skills. Encourage colleagues to give you constructive criticism on your writing style and clarity. When you receive feedback, don't take it personally; view it as an opportunity to learn and grow. Apply the suggestions to your future writing projects. Over time, this process will help you identify common mistakes and develop a more effective writing style .

Como sucede en otros ámbitos, lo fundamental que necesitas saber de los demás no son sugerencias acerca de cómo cómo ellos arreglarían tu texto, sino si lo entienden o no. Ellos deben evaluar el resultado, no la ejecución. Si un texto no es claro, edítalo de nuevo, como sólo tú sabes hacerlo, para lograr algo más conciso. Si un texto no es memorable para tu lector, ensaya otras opciones. Los lectores no podrán decirte cómo hacerlo memorable, pero podrán decirte si lograste el efecto o no. Por lo tanto, no te lo tomes personal: tu texto no es necesariamente malo, la cuestión es que necesitas adaptarlo a un contexto específico, y ese contexto es, básicamente, el tipo de audiencia al que te diriges, una con sus propios estilos y preferencias.

6 Continuous Learning

Lastly, never stop learning and refining your written communication skills. Attend workshops or webinars on business writing. Read widely, including well-written reports and articles in your industry. Practice writing regularly and experiment with different styles and formats. The more you write, the better you'll become at choosing the right words and structuring your messages for maximum impact.

Sugiero leer textos fuera de tu industria. Buscar, además, autores que sean famosos por explicar conceptos difíciles a través de textos accesibles; son ellos quienes conocen los varios trucos que hay para alcanzar audiencias complicadas. Dos ejemplos son divulgadores científicos como Carl Sagan y autores infantiles que se dedican a explicar temas tan espinosos como la guerra o la muerte con una sencillez y sensibilidad que pocos adultos poseen.

An example I seen: Editing: Consistently edit your work to get and address mistakes prior to sending. Designer to Your Crowd: Adjust your composing style to suit the crowd and reason, whether it's an email, report, or update.

Antes de escribir, procura al menos anotar tu idea principal y los argumentos que usarás para sostenerla. ?De qué quieres convencer a tu lector? Cuando conoces los argumentos que usarás, es más fácil pensar en maneras creativas de presentarlos. Yo en lo particular utilizo un pizarrón donde puedo graficar todas mis ideas, y ver la relación entre ellas claramente. A partir de ahí puedo empezar a reordenarlas, como si planeara una jugada de ajedrez. Y es justo en ese punto donde la creatividad, que ya tiene algo con qué trabajar, empieza a aflorar.
