Credibility is vital in today's business communications; however, even one word used in error can undermine the message and even the credibility of an entire organization. This interesting and much-needed topic will cover common word usage errors from 'who' vs. 'whom' to 'undoubtably' vs. 'undoubtedly' and other confusing word pairs. This presentation will clear up confusion around personal pronouns, abbreviations, other often misused business words, and more.
