“Sue is a very engaging and knowledgeable trainer who provides you with practical tips to enhance your writing. Sue also adds value to the training course agenda where possible. I found the course very productive as it allowed you to work on your own projects with Sue providing guidance and feedback as you developed your work. I would highly recommend this training to anyone looking to learn and improve their writing skills.” – Jess
Writing Coaching Clinic
“I found the writing course was of great benefit because it went beyond theoretical learnings and was applied to actual working documents. This provided both a learning opportunity and a way to stay on top of existing deadlines.” – Fiona Merida
COURSE 3: WRITING COACHING CLINIC

Full day: 9:30am to 4:00pm with 45 minute lunch break

Course timing can be scheduled to suit your group
It’s one thing to learn about how to write or edit well, and quite another to put that into practice. All of our writing courses focus partly on learning and partly on doing:
Our group coaching clinics take this to the next level.
Our coaching clinics run onsite. We block out a half or full day with Sue and you book staff members into 45-60 minute slots during which time Sue will work with them 1-1 on their writing challenges.
COURSE STRUCTURE:
Bring a laptop and up to three documents you’d like to work on, and be guided on how to make improvements during a group coaching session. The session is led by Sue White, an experienced writing coach who has mentored and coached hundreds of writers over the past decade.
During the session you will receive specific feedback on your own work and individually tailored advice on how to overcome your own particular writing hurdles. You’ll leave armed with new skills and improved confidence in your ability to handle any writing task. As a bonus, you’ll return to work with freshly revised or rewritten documents.
BRING:
-
A laptop (required)
-
Examples of your own writing work (required)
THIS COURSE IS PERFECT FOR:
Government employees. Coaching clinics can work as a stand alone product, but are even more effective when paired with one of our group courses: Edit With Ease or Creating Compelling Case Studies.
You can also book coaching clinics every few months as a ‘writing tune up’ for your team members. They an be run in person or over the phone, with documents shared prior to each session.
NOTE:
-
In this group coaching clinic, all of your written work is kept strictly confidential between you and the trainer. If you’d like your work to be used as an example for the group, that’s possible. However, the main purpose of the coaching clinic is for attendees to improve their own documents.
-
All content worked on in the coaching clinic is treated as confidential, and trainers can sign a confidentiality agreement if provided before or during the clinic. Our head trainer, Sue White, has a baseline security clearance.
