Thats so true Beth, everyday... Wish i had the time. its my weekness for sure.
Funny, My employees laugh about it when i give them a letter to draft up. or send and e-mail to correct and forward from company addr.
This kinda could be a thread, not about literacy. Maybe about knowing the weekness in your business?
People should know them and not let them stop them from what they are doing. You know I'm a coach also, I do it proffessionally. I train Kids and adults in hitting. I have made some training tapes, I had a freind or mine who was wonderful at this and passed up a great offer because he could not read well. The funny thing was a mexican national that we taught some broken english took the position. I had to say i told you so, he still believes they accept him not reading or writing but would call him stupid. I said SO!!!!!!!! he has the job, i guess that makes you stupid.
Happy ending, a better offer came this spring. He bypassed thoses fears.
