<p><strong>Join me on the Fast Track to Grant Writer: <a href= "http://www.teresahuff.com/vip">www.teresahuff.com/vip</a>.</strong></p> <hr /> <h3>How Can You Improve Your Grant Writing?</h3> <p>Sometimes the best answer to that question is to <strong><em>ask the obvious</em></strong>.</p> <p>Oftentimes we think we're perfectly clear, but are we really?</p> <p>The past few episodes we've been talking about the importance of clarity - in our work, our messaging, our communications, and especially our grant writing. That then becomes the catalyst for becoming more effective.</p> <p>With a grant application, for example, ask yourself, "Is this clear enough that my mom could understand it?" If not, you might need to revisit how you're presenting the information.</p> <h3>Be Brave Enough to Ask Better Questions</h3> <p>If we ask ourselves better questions, we get better answers. Today I want to challenge you with 5 questions to dig down and help uncover important insights:</p> <ol> <li>What are we doing <strong>well</strong>?</li> <li>What’s <strong>clear</strong>?</li> <li>What’s <strong>unclear</strong>?</li> <li>What can be <strong>improved</strong>?</li> <li>What are we <strong>afraid to ask</strong>/<strong>afraid to find out</strong>?</li> </ol> <p>Then give yourself space to listen and look for connections. </p> <h3>Challenge Question:</h3> <p>What obvious questions do you need to ask? </p> <p><strong>If you need help asking the questions, book a 1:1 strategy session with me at <a href= "https://teresahuff.com/mentor/">teresahuff.com/mentor</a>.
