jeremy-bishop-iftBhUFfecE-unsplash

Writing for impact is vital if we want to get the response we seek from our writing.

This course is a practical dive into the structure and principles of writing for impact. We share specific tools and strategies that you can use immediately to improve your writing.

The course is a lively 2.5 hour session (with a break!).

About the course
Writing for impact is vital for any organisation concerned about written communication. Put simply, poor writing wastes time and money. Confused colleagues can end up doing the wrong work. It can hurt your organisation’s brand. Great ideas can be lost in the swamp of badly written emails. Endless re-writes of reports are the bane of many people’s lives! Janet will share practical tools and strategies that you can use to immediately improve your writing. Participants go through a series of exercises and processes to embed their learning. This training is applicable to any written document such as reports, emails and proposals.

Participants leave this course with a clear understanding of how to make changes in their written communication so they can get the response they want each time they write.
