Jean-luc Doumont’s blog on “effective communication for rational minds”
This blog on “effective communication for rational minds” can be read on its own or can be regarded as a companion to my book Trees, maps, and theorems (Principiae, 2009). Like this book, it largely builds on 20 years of experience training and advising engineers, scientists, business people, and other professionals around the world.

For those who own a copy of Trees, maps, and theorems, it lists the book chapters that underpin each blog entry.

I guess it works out OK for the 10 or 15 or so years people remain students who write about literature for teachers who like to read literature. But what about the writing they do for the REST of their lives? You know–the kind of professional writing that determines whether they get a job or earn a promotion or win funding for their business venture. …
