Help your people to write and present with greater impact
Your people can become better writers and presenters more quickly with a training programme tailored to your organisation’s needs.
Your training will incorporate your team’s real work and address the challenges they face. They will begin applying the techniques they learn to their work during their course. And they’ll leave with resources to help them implement their learning after the course finishes.
Develop your team’s knowledge and practical skills
Your team will develop a shared understanding of what excellent communications look like on their training programme.
They’ll discover what works and doesn’t work for audiences, and apply these principles to their own work. They’ll learn the techniques and tricks-of-the-trade that the best communicators use to produce great results.
Most importantly, they’ll develop the knowledge and skills they need to produce excellent communications themselves.
Increase the value of your team’s communications
Your training programme will help your team to:
- Communicate with the people who matter to you more effectively
- Engage the attention of their target audiences
- Share ideas and information more persuasively
- Produce their work more efficiently because they know what works and doesn’t work
- Collaborate better with each other and with reviewers
Achieve long-term results with bespoke implementation resources
At the end of their training, your team will receive resources to help them implement what they’ve learned in their work:
- A bespoke handbook with a checklist, notes, resources and all the slides
- Tips for practising their new skills in their day-to-day work and their projects
- Notes to help their managers and reviewers support their development
Then, your team will have the knowledge, skills and resources they need to produce impactful communications that work for your organisation and its audiences.

Testimonials
We have partnered with Margaret on five writing and presenting training courses. Our teams consistently feedback that her ability to listen and tailor programmes to meet their needs and the demands of our business makes each session valuable. The accompanying handbooks and guides help us to continue our learning and development after her sessions.
Jonathan McCallum, Managing Director UK & Norway, George P. Johnson Experience Marketing
We asked Margaret to run a workshop to improve the writing skills of team members working across IPSE. Everyone who attended communicated with members and clients but in different styles and for different purposes.
Margaret quickly got our group producing representative members profiles, imagining their lifestyles and how we could frame our language and communication to appeal to these members. Through the use of the profiles, we were able to work together to explore how we currently engage with members and how we could communicate more clearly, concisely and compellingly.
The workshop was not only an interesting and fun experience, it has also had a lasting and positive impact on our member communications. We were so pleased with the results that we have asked Margaret to continue working with IPSE on a one-to-one coaching basis with key members of staff.
Corinne Stuart, Head of Sales, IPSE
We wanted to help our teams improve their writing skills in order to produce polished, professional business writing. Margaret’s course focused on the essential skills for writing clearly and effectively whatever the format. It was an excellent and well-received course which created a buzz in the office.
Margaret was seen by the participants as someone who not only knew the subject in depth but was an extremely personable and engaging trainer.
