You can find more information on me at jeff -perry .com.
11
And this is the Engineering Career Coach podcast brought to you by EMI,
12
the first podcast dedicated to helping engineers and technical professionals with both their personal and professional development.
13
Now it's time to jump to the main segment of our episode.
14
Today, I have the pleasure to have with me
15
Pam Hurley, PhD.
16
She's the founder of Hurley Wright Incorporated.
17
Pam, so grateful to have you on the show.
18
Well, thank you for inviting me.
19
So I'm so excited about this.
20
Now, Pam, you come from a different background than probably most of our guests and certainly most of our listeners.
21
I'm curious if you can share just a brief overview of where you come from.
22
What does the day -to -day look like for you?
23
Sure.
24
Yeah, I I come from a background in academia.
25
So one of the things that
26
that taught me in academia was what a poor job
27
we do in universities of training people to write in the real world.
28
And so after I finished my doctorate, I decided to start a business because I understood
29
that what I was teaching in academia was practical and could be applied for most professionals in the workplace.
30
Okay, very cool.
31
So I'm excited to dive in
32
and certainly provide some ideas for how we can help some of our listeners improve some of their writing skills.
33
So when you work with a lot of engineers on this and helping them improve their writing and their communication, right?
34
So what do you see as some of those challenges that engineers face when they're trying to write in written communication?
35
Well, one of the things we ask,
36
or at least I ask in my first thing I ask in my classes is how many of you like writing?
37
And believe it or not, most engineers say they don't like to write.
38
Weird.
39
Yeah, I know.
40
Very surprising.
41
And so one of the things I mean, it just makes sense.
42
If it's not something you you like to do, then you typically are going to procrastinate.
43
When you procrastinate, your skill set diminishes, right?
44
Tiger Woods doesn't go out and play golf once a year.
45
He practices every day.
46
And so one of the things we try to help them understand is that engineers are fantastic problem solvers.
47
I mean, that's what they do.
48
That's what they thrive on.
49
That's what they're wonderful at.
50
And so what we try to teach them is how do you take those great problem -solving skills
51
and apply them to writing?
52
And it's really not as difficult as it might appear.
53
Okay, interesting.
54
I mean, I'm just thinking about from my own experience, I know that it was early on in school that I had,
55
like a lot of engineers, some natural strengths in the math and science and all that stuff.
56
And so people were like, oh, yeah, engineering would be good for you.
57
But what I really liked about those things when I was in school and gravitated toward, there was always like a right answer, right?
58
Like I knew if I was right or wrong on that stuff, when it came to anything creative,
59
writing or art or things like this, it was subjective, right?
60
I was getting graded on someone's opinion of what I created instead of like, you know, what exactly was the correct way.
61
And so that immediately for me was part of my early mindset of like, writing is bad, it's hard, it's subjective.
62
I don't like that. And
63
so I actually act like maybe a lot of the people
64
you work with for a long time actively avoided times when I would do that.
65
And so that mindset plays a big role.
66
But I've certainly learned later and been practicing a lot more the last few years to do a lot more writing.
67
But trying to write in a way that's clear, concise, and engaging for an audience is something that's different.
68
It's certainly not taught in engineering school.
69
If we take any writing class, it's a technical writing class.
70
We're just trying to communicate like a technical idea.
71
But even that is hard, and it's just one class, and that's all that's required.
72
So how do you help engineers really improve their style of writing to help engage their audience in effective ways?
73
Well, that's exactly right.
74
And you nailed it to their audience.
75
And one of the things that academia does a poor job of is teaching writing as though it is subjective.
76
And so what happens is for a lot of people, they carry that into the workplace.
77
Reviewers do as well.
78
We have a whole class devoted to what reviewers are doing.
79
And so it's, you know, review, oh, I don't like that word.
80
Or, you know, they review for pet peeves and things like that.
81
Writing is not subjective.
82
There are ways, and these are some of the things that we teach, for instance,
83
how do you structure a sentence to emphasize the right thing for your particular readers to drive them to a conclusion?
84
And writing is simply problem solving.
85
What is the communication problem you're trying to solve?
86
How do I communicate a particular message to a certain audience for a desired outcome?
87
And so a lot of engineers and other writers don't think much about the outcome, where they're trying to get.
88
So they tend to be writing or they tend to write from a, it's a top down.
89
I start at the beginning and I end at the end.
90
Instead of thinking about reverse engineering the document, where do I want to wind up?
91
and then working backwards and for a lot of people
92
if they do that that works very very well
93
but there are a lot of pieces in that in the writing puzzle
94
and they're not difficult to solve it's just
95
that academia doesn't do a very very good job of teaching it
96
and it and we do tend to view it as very subjective
97
because you know people make comments like I have no idea what
98
that means why didn't they like that you know blah blah blah
99
and you know one of the things we hear a lot of a lot of is well I wrote it
100
and then the reviewer wanted it this way so I changed it
101
and then I sent it back to the reviewer
102
and they changed it back to the way I had it originally
103
so there's a tremendous amount of confusion and
104
so we do think about it as being subjective
105
when it it really is not there's studies
106
that have been done about readability
107
and that's what we teach in our classes it's all about readability it's a science okay so you're actually helping
108
them almost speaking their language creating the science and the structure of writing
109
and and the system perhaps as engineers really like to work in systems
110
and processes to absolutely to really optimize what they're doing
111
now in the end what writing is one form of communication
112
where there's a lot of different instances where engineers need to communicate ideas whether that's internally externally whatever
113
that is in technical and non -technical situations so what are those ways
114
that you find that engineers can then use writing as a tool to do the great work
115
that they need to do instead of seeing as something
116
that that's off to the side like how do they see
117
their writing as a as an enabler of doing their great engineering work yeah that's a great question
118
so one of the things that a lot of engineers, other professionals seem to not understand is that the document is the deliverable.
119
And what I mean by that is, if you're doing, you can do great work, you can go to the field,
120
you can be doing great work in the lab, you can do whatever, whatever, whatever.
121
But if the document doesn't convey that great work, then it's all for naught.
122
So we want to also think about documents as conveying an image, right?
123
Aristotle called this ethos, and I don't want to get into all the theory, but ethos called this ethos,
124
which is the image that the writer projects.
125
And all of us, I think, have picked up documents and read them and thought, woo, not the sharpest tool in the shed.
126
And so that's what we're talking about.
127
So a document can be just a way to show a reader
128
that you are competent and intelligent and are doing a good job.
129
So documents are more than just words on a page.
130
People really do, you know, read them and make judgments about you and about the organization and about the work you do,
131
whether you like it or not, we all do it.
132
Okay, interesting.
133
So like you're putting your name on that thing, you better make sure that's a high quality.
134
And when you're doing that deliverable, it better be to a certain standard.
135
You're trying to raise that standard for people.
136
So, you know, there's the writing, there's the words that go into a document,
137
but there's other supporting things that go into documents or resources that engineers are creating, you know, visuals, right?
138
So charts, diagrams, pictures, how can visuals enhance the writing and the communication that they're trying to get across?
139
Yeah.
140
So, I mean, one of the things we know based on readability studies is
141
that a lot of people look at visuals before they even look at text.
142
So visuals should augment text.
143
And what I mean by that is that they should add to not take the place of text.
144
A lot of people want them to take the place of text.
145
The other thing about visuals is they have to be clear and they have to pass what we call the grunt test.
146
And the grunt test is simply that in five seconds or less, you need to know exactly what that visual is showing you.
147
We were working with a team recently on their PowerPoints and And holy moly, the visuals,
148
the PowerPoints were so packed with information that it was very difficult to understand the idea that they were trying to convey.
149
And then when you talk to them about like, oh, I'm trying to be this and that and this and that and this and that.
150
Well, you know, your reader or your audience isn't going to sit down with you and go, oh, well, what did you mean by this? right?
151
So we really have to think about, you know, visuals can be incredibly effective, but they also have to be done very well to be effective.
152
Yeah.
153
Sometimes I've heard you're talking about those PowerPoints that just have way too much.
154
Sometimes I've heard those called eye charts, like our eyes are just overwhelmed.
155
They don't know where to go.
156
They don't know where to look.
157
Like, what does this actually mean?
158
I shouldn't have to feel like I'm working too hard to understand this.
159
Exactly.
160
And the same is true with written documents.
161
If you have to read it more than once, bad.
162
Yeah.
163
Well, and to that point, the onus on the engineers who are doing the writing,
164
they probably do need to read it and write it more than once.
165
And so this is maybe something that I know I sometimes have resistance with and maybe other engineers do as well.
166
Okay.
167
You finally sat down, did the writing, you got the report to a complete state, but you still need to refine,
168
edit, proofread, make sure it's ready for delivery.
169
Sometimes I'm like, ah, like I'm done.
170
Like it's fine.
171
Like the first time I went through it, but, but okay.
172
So please explain to us why editing and proofreading is so important to, to really make our documents great.
173
Well, yeah, I mean, proofreading, I mean, honestly, you can use Grammarly or some other AI for that, but the editing pieces is really important.
174
And one of the things we advocate in our classes is getting people to think about a checklist when they're editing and,
175
you know, what are the top things or, you know, five things or whatever it is that they need to edit for.
176
So we think about editing more.
177
We talk about more as reviewing and it's semantics.
178
But when you think about review, you're looking at the document holistically.
179
And what I mean by that is a A holistic review of the document means you're looking at,
180
is this written for my reader?
181
Does it flow?
182
Are the concepts clear?
183
Those kinds of things, when you think about a holistic review, that's really what you need to be looking at,
184
not the minutiae, which is the proofreading part.
185
And I'm not saying that proofreading is not important.
186
It is.
187
But proofreading, I mean, I've had writers who will be like, wow, they get stuck on a particular word and they cannot move on.
188
Put an X there and move on.
189
You can go back to all that stuff.
190
But one of the things when we think about writing is your brain is working on the writing problem.
191
And when you're constantly stopping and starting, we call it wordsmithing, then you're stopping that process.
192
Engineers are brilliant.
193
So they should be able to write and then do what we call incubation, put the document aside, come back later.
194
But a lot of them don't because they don't like rice.
195
They try to do it all in one fell swoop and have it done.
196
But if you let it incubate, what's happening is, is your brain is working on it, even though you're not physically working on it.
197
Okay.
198
I like that.
199
So, I mean, looking at that holistic view, like we were talking about early, like who's the audience, who are we writing for?
200
Is what we've created really going to serve its intended purpose
201
and write to and help influence or help people understand what we're trying to communicate in the first place, right?
202
We need to be looking at that big picture instead of just like, oh, I outlined all the sections.
203
I wrote something in all of them and like, cool, it's all done.
204
Like really looking, does this, what we've created serve its intended purpose, which is critical.
205
Because sometimes you get too deep into the details of the whole or certain parts of it.
206
You don't look at the big picture.
207
So that's great.
208
Um, what do you find are other things
209
that are really important for engineers to keep in mind when they're writing these technical reports or proposals or other professional documents?
210
Take the time to plan.
211
They don't want to plan.
212
They just want to write because they don't like it.
213
But if you take the time to plan, it should really be the 80 -20 rule.
214
You should be spending 80 % of your time planning and only 20 % of your time writing.
215
and if a lot of people if more people did
216
that they would not have the problems they do with writing
217
but when you're trying to rush you're just getting it out there
218
and you're or even thinking about your audience
219
so what a lot of folks would do oh
220
i'm writing for my boss joe i'm writing for you know they don't do
221
that deep dive
222
so one of the things
223
we do in our classes is ask people to do a
224
deep dive into their readers think about their reader attributes think about strategies
225
because if you're writing for instance let's just say a skeptical reader versus somebody who's on board.
226
Those are two totally different strategies.
227
You should not be writing.
228
I don't care if it's the same document.
229
You should not be writing those two documents in the same way because the attitudes of the readers are very, very different.
230
Right.
231
And I want to go back to the point we were just talking about before.
232
Before we started recording, we were talking about like, hey, sometimes engineers have a tendency to just provide way too much.
233
So the idea of editing to me certainly is changing restructuring,
234
but also editing to me is removal and finding those ways to remove the things that, yeah, it may be important as part of the process,
235
but only including the things that are most relevant to what needs to be communicated for this.
236
So can you talk to, maybe engineers have so much knowledge and so much detail that they can share.
237
How do they go through that sifting process to really edit
238
and decide this is what actually needs to be communicated instead of every single detail that I could include?
239
No, it's a good question.
240
And they do love to include everything, whether it's relevant or or not because it's interesting to them
241
and I get that
242
so one of the things
243
we talk in our classes about is the outcome statement what are you trying to achieve
244
if I'm just trying to explain to you the 10 best ways to use this widget then
245
that that gives me some parameters
246
that gives me a guide a roadmap to understand the amount and kind of information that I should include.
247
But when you're just writing, and again, you're using that, you know, you write from the top down,
248
then that lends itself to including far too much information, which we call overriding.
249
But if you have a strategy in place, and then you understand where you're trying to go, that is going to help you.
250
Does this add value?
251
Does this help me take my reader to the desired conclusion?
252
If it doesn't, it goes.
253
Okay, that's interesting.
254
So still kind of, again, we're using that upfront planning that we've done, understanding the audience, I think you said objective statement,
255
using that as a filter as we continue throughout the process
256
when I'm writing and certainly at the end when we're doing more editing again,
257
uses that filter to make sure does this fit the purpose in the end okay that's great now
258
if i'm an engineer
259
and i'm like okay pam you've convinced me i i need to like take writing seriously
260
and and get better about this like what are some of the resources
261
that engineers can use to improve their writing skills
262
we're talking about like okay just need to put in some reps
263
and practice and do it more
264
but besides just writing more what are some resources really help refine
265
and improve their their abilities well our classes obviously are the best resource out there, but, but, but honestly, according to research,
266
there's two, two things, very simple things that, that, that engineers should be doing.
267
Number one is writing every single day for 15 minutes.
268
Very simple.
269
The second thing that engineers should be doing is reading every day for 15 minutes.
270
And I'm not talking about reading engineering documents.
271
I'm talking about reading novels and newspaper articles and things like that, because you pick up nuances,
272
you pick up language, you pick up sentence structure and things like that.
273
So those are two really, honestly, two main, you can read all the technical writing textbooks in the world if you want to,
274
but they're not going to help you as much as that practice of writing and reading for 15 minutes a day, honestly.
275
Now I'm curious, Pam, on the research, I don't know if you're familiar with this,
276
but I'm curious because a lot of the books that I end up reading, probably the majority of them,
277
I listen to audiobooks rather than sit down and read a book.
278
It's sometimes a little bit easier for me to get through a book that way.
279
Does that have any influence one way or another, or is one more beneficial or another as far as the reading to improve the writing
280
from what you know in the research?
281
I don't know much.
282
I haven't seen much research about that.
283
I would imagine that it's the same um
284
because what you're just trying all
285
you're trying to do is get new um new ways what this is not said well
286
but all you're trying to do is to really think differently about i'm not saying
287
this very well i haven't done any research on
288
that to be quite honest with you i would imagine
289
it's real i would imagine it's roughly the same to me it would be the same as whether you uh
290
when you when you sit down to write are you writing longhand are you dictating?
291
Are you using a keyboard?
292
And I think a lot of it would just depend on the, you know, the preference of the individual.
293
Yeah, that's great.
294
So I'm just curious if you knew.
295
Yeah, I don't know, but it's a really good question.
296
Yeah, that's great.
297
And something I might go dig into.
298
Absolutely.
299
Well, Pam, this has been really helpful.
300
And so I'm excited as we go to our next segment, the Take Action Today segment, we'll come back in just a moment.
301
And we'll get one final piece of actionable advice from Pam to help you improve your writing.
302
We'll be right back.
303
now it's time for our take action today segment of the show now pam
304
we've had a great discussion around a lot of the different aspects of how engineers can improve their writing skills
305
and why that's important now
306
if i'm an engineer who has something i need to to write
307
or create today
308
or this week what's the there's a lot of things i could do to work on
309
and i don't have time to take a class or anything,
310
but what's the one thing that I can really focus on to improve this next thing that I'm writing right away?
311
Yeah, planning is the most important thing that any writer can do.
312
And it's the thing that most writers fail to do.
313
Know who you're writing for.
314
Find out as much as you possibly can about them, whether it is their role in the organization, even if they're busy.
315
So if they're busy, there are strategies that you can then employ, right?
316
Right.
317
So do that.
318
Number two, write that outcome statement.
319
Where do you want them to go?
320
Think of yourself as the Sherpa.
321
You're the Sherpa taking them on the on the journey.
322
Where do you want them to go?
323
Right.
324
And then the third thing is, is to think about writing as a process.
325
It is not, as we've been taught in academia, outline first draft, second draft.
326
We're good to go.
327
It can be outline first draft back to outline.
328
It's messy.
329
That's OK.
330
You need to embrace that and not think about it as a linear process,
331
which I know can be difficult for people who love processes and systems.
332
And then the final thing about that is writing is a process.
333
Figure out what your process looks like, right, which may take time.
334
But once you do that, your writing is going to be so much, it's going to be such a much easier task for you.
335
Okay, great.
336
Some fabulous advice there.
337
And I hope people take that to heart as they're planning their next thing that they have to write.
338
So, Pam, I'm sure there are going to be some people who are interested to connect with you,
339
find you, learn more about some of the classes that you teach if they want to dive deeper into that.
340
Where would you point people to find out more information about that?
341
So you can contact me directly, Pam, at HurleyWright .com.
342
You can give us a call, 877 -249 -7483.
343
Go to our website, HurleyWright .com.
344
We have some great resources, blogs, white papers, you know, that kind of thing.
345
We have some videos, things like that.
346
And if you just want to chat, just, you know, email me or look me up on LinkedIn there as well, like everybody else's, I guess.
347
Okay, perfect.
348
So such a great episode here.
349
And I really hope people see and recognize the importance of writing
350
and take it seriously so that they can deliver some of the great work
351
that they have to deliver beyond just like doing the technical work, but we need to be able to communicate that effectively.
352
So thanks so much for all you do to help support that and wish you nothing but continued success.
353
Thanks so much for being here.
354
Well, thank you.
355

Gölgeleme Tekniği Nedir?

Gölgeleme, başlangıçta profesyonel tercüman eğitimi için geliştirilen ve çok dilli Dr. Alexander Arguelles tarafından popüler hale getirilen, bilim destekli bir dil öğrenme tekniğidir. Yöntem basit ama güçlüdür: ana dili İngilizce olan bir sesi dinler ve hemen yüksek sesle tekrar edersiniz — konuşmacıyı 1-2 saniye gecikmeyle takip eden bir gölge gibi. Pasif dinleme veya dilbilgisi alıştırmalarının aksine, gölgeleme beyninizi ve ağız kaslarınızı gerçek konuşma kalıplarını eşzamanlı olarak işlemeye ve yeniden üretmeye zorlar. Araştırmalar, telaffuz doğruluğu, tonlama, ritim, bağlı konuşma, dinleme anlama ve konuşma akıcılığını önemli ölçüde geliştirdiğini göstermektedir — bu da onu IELTS Konuşma hazırlığı ve gerçek dünya İngilizce iletişimi için en etkili yöntemlerden biri yapar.
