Clear and compelling documents convey complex ideas in a way that is accessible and influential. For professionals to produce clear documents, a particular set of skills is needed – skills that can be learned and perfected.
Our Compelling briefs and correspondence workshop provides participants with practical skills and techniques to present information clearly and in a way that is accessible to the intended audience. The workshop provides models and tools to shape and structure text so it influences identified audiences for all the right reasons, and communicate policies, services and programs more effectively.
