The Ultimate Writing Workout is a three-step process to help you improve your business writing; achieved through a smart package of individual feedback, training, and personalised coaching.
1. You'll get an assessment of your writing
Using StyleWriter, we give you a snapshot assessment of the language style in a document you submit.
You'll get statistics on:
- the clarity of your language
- the length of your sentences
- the proportion of verbs to nouns (the active and passive voice) in your writing.
Your results are compared to the recommended levels for each statistic.
2. You'll learn new writing skills
The Business Writing workshop focuses on both the language and the structure of your writing. The workshop is for anyone who writes business or government documents — from brief emails to long reports. You’ll quickly improve your writing skills and see how to write clear, purposeful documents that get the results you want. You'll gain a very quick understanding of the relevant areas of StyleWriter on the workshop.
3. You'll hone your skills
Your private coaching session, a week later, gives you time to apply the skills you’ve learned on the workshop. In a one-on-one session with your trainer, you focus on your individual writing needs. We use your documents as the training material. Our plain English specialists work with people in all kinds of roles, from senior executives to young people new to the workforce.
Or, if you prefer, after your workshop you can choose to send us a 3–5 page document, and we’ll send you back a short, structured written review of your writing.
From either the coaching session or the document review, you’ll receive positive suggestions for further developing your writing.
This training package is for anyone who writes business or government documents — from brief emails to long reports. You'll love the Ultimate Writing Workout if you want to:
- find out how your writing measures up to standards of clear writing
- improve specific areas in your writing
- become much better at writing reports, memos, and emails — and be happier with the results
During the three-step process, you’ll:
- receive a snapshot assessment of your writing — a quick rating of your language in a document you submit.
- take part in a Business Writing workshop to write more effectively — focusing on both the language and the structure of your writing, it’s designed to quickly improve your writing skills
- get an hour’s one-on-one coaching on how to improve your writing, or a written review of a short document if you prefer — a week after your training, to give you time to apply your new skills.
