Influential Writing Skills

Why Influential Writing Skills?

Written work features in most people's working lives.  The natural tendency is to "get stuck in" to writing, spending the minimum amount of time planning.  This is particularly the case with the explosion of e-mail which means that messages fail to get across and reports and proposals fail to influence appropriately.

What results will I achieve?

This workshop allows the participants to discover the benefits of thorough planning and introduces them to a number of powerful techniques to ease the task and increase the impact of the message.  Areas covered include:

  • Four key steps to producing an effective report
  • The power of first impressions
  • Mapping the journey - from start to finish
  • Collecting and analysing the data
  • Designing for success!
  • Personal action planning
  • Group dynamics
  • Hints and tips on the use of emails

Who is it for?

Anyone who writes reports, proposals, letters or emails as part of their normal work, be it technical or commercial, purely factual or persuasive.

How is it structured?

Skills are demonstrated by the tutors, using short input sessions, exercises and skills practise. Frameworks are all modelled upon people who have demonstrated Excellence in their field.
