was wrong.
This is where you take your power back.
How writing is taught at school and university is not much use for the business world.
There, you're expected to show you understand a subject while impressing your teacher with your intelligent insights.
What's worse, you lose marks for not writing enough and no one cares how long it takes you to get the assignment done.
That's the opposite of what's required of a business writer. No wonder so many otherwise capable people find business writing a struggle!
It's time to undo what's been done
Writing for Results is about rediscovering your own natural communication skills.
In one short and energising day, we train you in how to write a first draft quickly. Then we coach you on how to cut it down and finesse it so it's succinct, crystal clear and ready to share.
You'll also discover why being a great writer doesn't mean you have to sound smart. And you'll find a place to stand when you write - a place that will take away any mystery about having your writing achieve the results you want.
What will you achieve?
Writing for Results was created by business writer and language commentator Ken Grace, who also leads the training. There is nothing else quite like it on the planet.

TESTIMONIALS
March 2023
Fantastic thank you Ken. 😊 Thoroughly enjoyed the course, a highlight of the last few years!

Writing for Results was fantastic. It made me think about different areas of my preparation and writing that I’d previously not considered overly important. Focussing on these areas has made my writing more effective and efficient.
The structure of the course was excellent. It allows for input from all attendees in a non-scary and engaging way.
If you want to reduce the time you spend writing reports – do this course!

This course was amazing. I did it many years ago and still continue to use the skills I learned all the time.

This course made an extraordinary difference to my confidence in writing, including responding to emails, writing reports and other business-related material. All the worry went away and my productivity improved enormously.

Great course. Highly recommended!
Simon Rush, Global Marketing Communications Manager, Trimble Mining, Aggregates, Weighing
It was great! Ken is engaging and his advice is helpful for those who tend to word vomit. My top takeaways from the session: Do your research, be clear on who your reader is, write quickly, then EDIT EDIT EDIT.

I'm successfully using your course as a critical "weapon" to help us win new business through clear, succinct and compelling proposals. I have to put a good portion of that growth down to the skills you taught and that I have instilled in my team.

Your words have resonated well and we are ditching adjectives of emphasis left, right and centre and replacing them with adjectives of kind. And as for zombie nouns? Well - they are dead to us.

Helpful, friendly and safe environment, enjoyable.
