Why Is This Training Important?
In today’s work environment, 90% of what you do is communicated through the written word. The more effective you are as a writer, the more valuable you will be to three entities: your boss, the company and yourself. Therefore, improving your writing skills is important for moving forward in your career.

What Will You Do During This Training?
During our exciting session, we will pre-assess your writing level, practice specific writing techniques and use effective writing tips that will polish up your document. You will discover how easy it is to soar on the wings of words after you brush up and buff up your writing skills.

Class Outline

• Pre-assess your writing strengths and weaknesses.
• Review and practice specific writing techniques based
  on assessment findings.
• Participate in meaningful learner-centered interactive
  activities.
• Discover software features and tools to help edit
  your document.
• Implement easy-to-use tip sheets.
• Develop “eagle-eye” skills for producing
  error-free documents.

Who Is This Training For?
This training is for individuals serious about improving their writing skills. You should have a basic knowledge of grammar, so you can implement the techniques and tips that will take your writing to a higher level and produce the “write” results.
 

What You Will Need

·   A two-page writing sample. You must bring an unedited writing sample that will be used as your working document to practice specific writing techniques. No one will see your writing sample other than the instructor.

·   The ability to be away from your cell phone during class. You can only turn on cell phones during breaks and lunch. This allows you to respect your trainer, classmates and stay focused during the training session.

Participants of the training were excited about
her ability to provide such personal coaching in a
