Why Choose CMA’s Workshop?

Our one-day Influential Business Writing program explores how to improve your business writing to maximise impact. This workshop empowers the writer to achieve optimum clarity and persuasiveness. We provide participants with the tools to understand the fundamentals communicating effectively, structuring a document, and editing for expression.

This workshop will enable you or your team to:

  • Structure their written communication to maximise their persuasive impact.
  • Write in a way that promotes a desired action, rather than confusion or indifference.
  • Increase their awareness about how their writing style may be perceived by others.
  • Adapt their written communication depending on their audience, circumstances and objectives.
  • Build their working relationships with key stakeholders.
  • Improve their productivity by reducing the time taken to draft emails and documents.
  • Reduce time wasted by managers in editing or re-writing documents.
