Una Cox

Consultant

Effective trainer delivering learning that lasts

Una brings the rigour of 20 years of teaching adults, and the warmth of an Irish brogue to her fun and practical workshops.

She focuses on simple, practical guidance for writing confidently and effectively. And she likes making it fun because, ‘then you don’t notice you’re learning’.

For Una, comfort and confidence are the foundation of positive learning. From a starting point of grow what you know, then work from there, she’ll take the learning as far as needed — whether that’s basic principles, tips and tricks, or advanced techniques for specialist writing.

Una believes good writing is a fundamental right. She looks beyond the widely recognised benefits of plain language — like saving time and money, and building better relationships. She says when you learn how to get the best outcomes from your writing, you’re granting yourself that right, and using that ability in full to do the best for all your readers.

Creating high-quality training that’s tailored to learners

Quality learning is a key motivation for Una. She has worked in quality assurance and as an education inspector. She knows how to set and maintain the highest standards for workshops. She’s adept at tailoring the content to participants’ professional needs, and the approach to the group’s or individual’s character and preferences.

Una has taught and worked in Ireland, the US, Australia, and New Zealand.

Una’s areas of specialty

All our consultants have the skills and smarts to make any workshop a success. But they each have special passions too.

Una has a great way of presenting the material and skills. It was really easy to take on what she is talking about and put it into real life situations. There are a number of new skills and methods I will now use in my work and personal life.
