Get It Write.

Engage and inspire

Good communication matters, so if words get in your way, I can help.

The trouble is, there’s so much bad writing in businesses! It slows us down and costs us money. Use our handy calculator to work out what bad writing is costing your organisation

“Thank you for the insightful, intelligent design and facilitation of our first leadership program for business leaders. From the beginning, where you listened and asked the right questions to develop a deep understanding of what we needed, what obstacles we faced and why this was important, right through to wrapping up 12 months later, you consistently bought your energy and knowledge to every session where you stimulated and challenged the group’s thinking.”

I can train your team to write

I created the Get It Write program to build better writers with my colleague Kylie Miller.

Get It Write helps you to understand your audience, find the right words, and use them to connect. It’s a valuable skill, whether you’re writing a business email or a letter to your mum.

And to ensure the training sticks, every participant gets one-on-one mentoring with Kylie or me. Mentoring helps people to apply what they’ve learned, providing practical tips and coaching as we work through a sample of their work.

Get It Write is available for individuals, teams and organisations.

For individuals (public program)

I run a small number of public programs each year so that people who aren’t part of a larger team have an opportunity to Get It Write.

With useful content, participatory exercises, tips and templates to take away, you learn the fundamentals of good writing.

Get It Write helps you to understand your audience, find the right words, and use them to connect. It’s a valuable skill, whether you’re writing a business email or a letter to your mum.

For your team

Get It Write can lift your team’s writing performance.

How many hours a week do you spend ‘red penning’ badly written briefs and board papers? We’ve been there. It’s frustrating!

We set up this program because we saw a need to build better writers.

Poor communication results in delayed or failed projects, low morale, missed performance goals and lost sales (some worth hundreds of thousands of dollars).

We're not taught the shortcuts.... an easy way through the maze. These shortcuts exist. They save time and money. Journalists and copywriters learn them from scratch, but most of us miss out.

This program helps your team understand your audience, find the right words, and use them to connect. With Get It Write, your team’s copy will be crisper and tighter, their content more intriguing and more inspiring.

It includes:

Our Foundations Program, a half-day training session delivered live online or face-to-face at your office for up to twenty team members

A three-hour tailored masterclass focusing on a specific form of writing. You select the subject to suit your team. Delivered live online or face-to-face at your office

A one-on-one mentoring session for each team member. Too much training is delivered and done - it doesn't stick. Our mentoring helps your team apply what they’ve learned. We meet (online) and work through samples of their writing, providing practical tips and coaching to help them improve.

Cost is $16,000+GST for up to twenty team members.

For your organisation

Poor writing is costing organisations thousands of dollars every year.

Get It Write can help.

2016 research by author Josh Bernoff found that people in business spend 6 per cent of total wages trying to get meaning out of poor writing. For an organisation with 1,000 employees, that’s a wasted 4 million dollars each year. Imagine what your people could do with that time if they could claw it back.

The cost of poor writing is profound. In 2018, The Economist's Intelligence Unit found poor communication can result in:

delayed or failed projects (44 per cent of respondents)

low morale (31 per cent )

lost sales (18 per cent) — some worth hundreds of thousands of dollars

missed performance goals (25 per cent ), and

We set up this program to build better writers.

Our enterprise solution for large organisations builds writing capability throughout the year. A self-paced online curriculum coupled with masterclasses and monthly mentoring gives your people the skills and support they need to write well, always.

Our program helps your people to understand your audience, find the right words, and use them to connect.

It includes:

Our Foundations Program, online and on-demand. Ten thirty-minute modules full to the brim with videos, exercises, worksheets, tips and templates teaching your people the fundamentals of good writing. With a final assessment test and completion certificate, our monthly report will let you know which members of staff have completed the course

Six three-hour masterclasses on specific forms of writing delivered live online over the twelve months, tailored to what you need

Monthly mentoring days - one-on-one or small group mentoring to help your people put their new knowledge into practice. Up to 250 sessions per year are available. Delivered online, staff can book a session and work through their latest writing with one of our trainers. It's hands-on, illuminating and delivers great documents ready for use in the business.

An 'Ask Anything' session over lunch on the mentoring days, which give all staff the opportunity to come together (online) and ask our experts their burning questions about writing and communication.

The enterprise program cost is $150,000+GST for twelve months.

(For an organisation of 1,000, that’s $150 per person for twelve months of support and skill building!)
