When you bring us on-site, you will have a smorgasbord of instructional
topics from
which to choose. We offer training on:
Writing
for Intranet & Web Sites
This full-day session covers all of the techniques a content editor
needs to know in order to present content on an intranet or Web site
in a Web-friendly way.
This is the only workshop we also offer publicly, in cities around
the U.S. and Canada. Here is more information
about this workshop.
"Writing
Interesting Feature Stories"
This is the half-day workshop that launched our training business
in the 1980s and has won acclaim worldwide. The art of writing a feature
article is not difficult — so long as you know what distinguishes
effective interviewing skills, story leads, transitions and conclusions
from their weaker counterparts.
This workshop covers all of those topics — and more —
in detail. Mix and match these modules to create a day or two of fun,
interactive, hard-hitting skill-building for those who must communicate
effectively in your organization. To schedule a session, call us at
214.948.7954 or e-mail us.
Making
Your Writing More Powerful
This half-day session explores the many techniques one can use to
lift one’s business writing out from the mundane and make it
resonate with the reader in a powerful way. We discuss use of the
active voice, strong verbs, specific details and other power-writing
techniques.
Exercises help participants master the tools discussed. Appropriate
for anyone who writes news, feature material, business reports or
e-mails in an organization.
"Making
Your Writing More Professional"
This half-day session zeroes in on the technical side of writing,
to ensure it has a professional polish. Grammar, spelling and style
get emphasized. Participants also master the careful balancing act
of writing in a vocabulary and tone that is professional, but not
pompous.
The
Intelligent Use of E-Mail
This new half-day workshop is in great demand. It teaches participants
the legal importance of e-mail communication, how to structure e-mails
so they communicate the most important point ASAP, when and whom to
copy — and blind copy — on a message, how to project a
professional image through one’s e-mail and other key topics.
