Buildings Magazine
This article on writing effectively for FM made the cover of the January issue. It's a timely and important issue for Facility Managers who want to be more successful.

While the technical side of our business is important, truly successful Building and Facility Managers have good management and business skills. After all, it’s all about managing resources, both internal and contracted, to get results. The ability to communicate, particularly in writing, is an important part of these skills.

The ability to influence means you will get more out of your boss, staff, contractors and occupants or tenants. It’s about being strategic, not just tactical. Michel delivers a workshop called "Strategic Writing" for facilities and property management professionals who need to write in their job.

For more information on the workshop, go to our site FMeducation.ca or contact contact Michel
