Dear Peter (Stroud).
Christine is an accomplished and very highly experienced writer who has
asked for the advice of her peers on this list, as she progresses into a
more independent and consultative role.
IMNSHO, such a response from you was both highly judgmental (especially
given the isolation afforded by this list) and, I would say, rather
uncalled for.
How about working with our colleagues who are trying to grow
professionally, instead of being so instantly dismissive, based on a few
questions in an E-mail?
Give her a chance.
Enough of the highfalutin BS please, PS.
You don't need to be riddled with jargon to be a consultant. In fact,
consulting being an iterative and customer focused process, I have always
found that Plain English works best, all the way through to the
documentation end product.
Sincerely,
Michael Granat
