Interactive
Virtual Training

Yes, it’s the new normal for me now, and I’m really enjoying delivering interactive virtual training for corporate clients.

I work hard to put the same level of energy and engagement from my live face-to-face training into my interactive virtual training programs.

Email and Business Writing Skills

Online, on camera, and in writing too!
With so much of our communication now being online, it’s never before been more important to communicate clearly and to connect authentically – on the phone, face-to-face, online, on camera – and, yes, in our written messages too.

Most people today spend a large amount of time writing. This feedback was from one recent group, and most groups tell me much the same.

Email and business writing skills have never before been so crucial. However, studies reveal that many messages are unclear, confusing, and long-winded. As a result, workers are losing hours reading messages, missing key information, wasting time and making errors.

Make a human difference, in your writing too!
Customers today want to know they are communicating with a real human being, not a computer churning out template-style messages filled with yesterday’s jargon. While encouraging participants to embrace change as our world becomes even more high-tech, I encourage everyone to “prove you are human”, especially when you write.

I’ve been training individuals and organisations to write clearly and concisely for many years. I’m now enjoying delivering a selection of virtual programs. I’d love to help you and your team improve their writing skills.

Client feedback

“Shirley’s training around simplifying written communication to make it clear, personable and focused has received the most positive feedback for any external training we have ever run for our support staff. I regularly hear about how this has changed the way my colleagues write. The really practical, hands-on and engaging manner of her workshops cemented the learning and quickly developed confidence. Highly recommend!”
