Never start sentences with these.

In Simplify Communication training I discuss removing excess and simplifying sentence structure to make it easier for your audiences to quickly understand. 

7 ways you should never start a sentence:

1. Because...

2. In addition to...

3. Not only do we...

4. Whether you're...

5. Please note that...

6. As you may have seen...

7. As we lean into this work...

Contact me to discuss training possibilities. We'll discuss these examples and explore your communication to identify potential improvements. It's fun, shocking, and actionable. Little changes make a big difference.
