Business writing and presenting training

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

Margaret recently conducted an effective writing workshop for our team. This programme was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone and the impact and new skills gained have been incredibly valuable.

Margaret provides a brilliant service from the initial call, through all the preparation, to the delivery of the workshop. She asks insightful questions about your business, team, and key priorities to tailor the workshop to your specific needs.

I highly recommend Margaret for writing skills training or any of the other courses she offers. She is wonderful to work with.
