Write the essentials right
Learn the practical techniques of good writing to write professionally and save time for you and your readers. Improve your business writing with plain-language tools and strategies that you can use in short emails, strategic reports, and everything in between.

What our clients say
The Write Business Writing Essentials Workshop would be really useful for anyone who needs to write emails or other documents for their job. It helps put you in the mind of your readers. If everyone in Aotearoa did this course, we would save hours upon hours of time wasted in ineffective emails and documents.

Fantastic workshop — practical, enjoyable, could feel a real buzz of energy in the team during the sessions. I think it will really improve our writing and reduce the time we usually take for peer review and editing!
