Writing skills training

I offer tailored workshops for teams that need sharper, clearer writing.
Short or long, in person or online: I can design a course that meets your needs.

My core writing workshop for staff of international organizations (usually 8-16 people) takes place over one day in person or two half-days online. I tailor it to the needs of your team by:

  • asking staff to complete a pre-workshop questionnaire
  • analysing your agency's documents, website and mission statement
  • including examples taken from your agency's documents.

When there is enough demand, I also run open workshops – with participants from several agencies – in hub cities in Europe, Asia and Africa, and online.

Specialized writing workshops or modules cover a wide range of writing tasks:

  • policy writing
  • powerful presentations
  • communications tools
  • effective email
  • taking and writing minutes
  • report clinic (analysing texts)
  • using data to tell a story
  • critical thinking
  • executive summaries
  • managing colleagues' writing.
