How you say something matters. It doesn't matter if its face-to-face, online, or in an letter - it matters, especially if you are a professional of any sort. And I am going to go out on a limb and say it probably matters more on a forums like this because you never know who is looking at you giving you their money as a potential client.

The above statement, which I made in the Adrenal Fatigue thread, along with other stuff I have seen has made me think a lot about the communication in the fitness biz and prompted me to post in this section. My hope in doing this is to 1) make fitness professionals aware of how they can communicate information more effectively, 2) make fitness professionals aware of how various forms of communication can affect their own business, and 3) give a back a little to the folks who have helped me on my fitness journey.
A little about me, I've got a BS in English with an emphasis in Rhetoric and Professional Communication from Iowa State and I did graduate work at University of Arkansas at Little Rock in Technical and Expository Writing. I've worked in various industries over the past few years including medical, non-profit, defense, and Oil and Gas. And I walk the line in terms of designing manuals and materials for traditional media and doing web sites and online help.
