Avoid the Negative: writing tip

Always ‘avoid the negative’ when writing proposals; stress positive outcomes rather than negative situations

Here is an example: negative

 With the rise in employees and with the lack of an organized HR information systems and management in place, it is expected that delivering quality care for employees would be neglected as well as employee management would be more difficult to practice. 

Rewrite: positive

 With the rise in employees the need for well-organized HR information systems and management teams increases and the ability to continue to deliver quality care for employees and management will depend on implementing new and more efficient systems.

Example: negative

If we fail to act now to increase awareness of roller derby and encourage the involvement of new skaters, our league will not be able to maintain the number of skaters necessary for survival.

Rewrite: positive

If we act now to increase awareness of roller derby and encourage the involvement of new skaters, our league will be able to maintain the number of skaters necessary for survival.

And please remember; professional writers are writing for busy people.
