Business and technical communication
AI can produce pages of polished-looking text in seconds. But that does not mean the message is clear, useful, or worth reading.
Dense reports, loosely structured business cases and over-technical bids all create the same problem: busy decision-makers have to work too hard to find the point.
The real skill is knowing what your readers need and want, what to put in, what to leave out and how to make the point land. It also means how to prompt well so the process saves time for everyone, not just the person writing.
I run practical, tailored writing workshops for public and private-sector organisations in the UK and internationally. They are designed for technical specialists, project teams and managers who need to write with more clarity, confidence and impact.
Core training options
Rather than relying on generic templates, every course is customised to your organisation’s real documents, brand tone and operational context.
1) Technical and strategic reporting
For engineers, technical specialists, analysts and surveyors who need to communicate complex findings clearly to non-technical stakeholders.
2) Commercial proposals and business cases
For bid teams, project managers and business leaders who need to win contracts and secure internal sign-off.
3) Professional communication
For managers, administrative teams, recruiters and client-facing staff who need to raise writing standards across the organisation.
How the workshops work
- Tailored to your real challenges: We work with your team’s actual reports, bids or presentations so people can apply what they learn straight away.
- Interactive and practice-led: As a CIPD-qualified trainer and ICF-accredited executive coach, I design sessions around live exercises, useful discussion, practical techniques and facilitated peer feedback.
- Flexible delivery: Workshops can be delivered in-house or online via Microsoft Teams or Zoom. Options include half-day modules, full-day workshops, short programmes and one-to-one follow-up coaching.
Why teams choose these workshops
- Commercial and technical understanding: With an MBA and more than 15 years’ experience as a professional writer, editor and trainer, I understand the pressures behind business cases, bids, reports, governance papers and client-facing documents.
- Plain English without dumbing down: I help technical and analytical teams remove clutter, passive phrasing, unnecessary jargon and AI-style padding while keeping the detail that matters.
- Experience with demanding audiences: I have worked with technical institutions including the Institution of Civil Engineers, local authorities, engineering firms and corporate teams across the UK, Europe, the Middle East and Australia as well as award-winning non-fiction authors.
Ready to strengthen your team’s communication?
If your team’s documents are taking too long to write, too long to review, or their presentations are not landing as clearly as they should, let’s talk about a workshop built around the communication they actually need to do.
