Why do I need this coaching?
You have just written an important business document. Before you email it to the client, you send it to your manager for comment. It comes back full of red-penned comments and criticisms. Sound familiar?
You want to understand why your hard-chosen words and carefully constructed sentences are not acceptable – and you want to know how to improve them.
How will I learn?
This is where a few focused sessions with a business writing coach would make all the difference.
At Gray Training, we begin by analysing documents that you have written, identifying your problem areas and guiding you to best practices.
We hold your hand while you practise each new skill until you are ready to communicate comfortably and professionally.
How do I start?
You begin by sending us samples of your writing – emails, memos, reports, etc. We identify general problem areas to tackle first and draw up a coaching plan for you. If it suits your needs and your pocket – we start!
Typical topics covered include:
- Understand your reader’s needs
- Write purposeful paragraphs
- Choose words fit for purpose
- Punctuate with confidence
- Choose the right verbs
- Structure emails for clarity
- Write targeted and structured reports
- Write persuasively
After each session, you apply what you have learnt to your current writing tasks – and we review a selection of these during the next session. We provide support until you are ready to write independently.
