Personalised, real-world and immediately useful training for business and industry
As a corporate communicator, you're not like other writers. You face extra challenges, such as deadlines, evolving technologies, KPI targets and the constant need to update your skills.
And there's never enough time! You need to learn or refresh skills quickly and implement what you learn immediately. I understand because I've worked in this industry too.
That's why I deliver training that's personalised, real-world and immediately useful. No fluff or overwhelm. Just the information you need to feel more knowledgeable and confident about your writing quickly - even if it's still not your favourite task!

Who is this training for?
People who write as part of their job.
You may be in communications, sales, administration, government, design, IT or another role where written communication is key.
You may write web content, marketing material, blogs, brochures, grant proposals, government reports or business cases.
Note: This training is not suitable for book writers, especially fiction writers.
Training topics
This is just a summary of the topics we could cover in our session. I'll develop a workshop to address the issues that specifically affect your team or we can discuss something new.
- The customer (the key to everything!) – how to know them, understand them and write for them.
- Plain language – how to do it, how not to do it and why it goes wrong so often.
- The writing process - planning, structuring and drafting – how to hone your process so it’s consistent and effective every time.
- Web writing – how web readers are different, how the web is different and why those things will change how you write.
- Writing for different genres – how to take different approaches with different genres to give customers what they want.
- Editing in a time crunch – how to edit when you’re under the pump – what to prioritise and what to leave out.
