The Group Workshop
The workshop aims to equip participants with a keen awareness of the skills that they will develop through their coaching. The participants will practice these key skills under guidance and within collaborative, active-learning tasks.
We aim to encourage participants to join the global trend towards the use of Plain English. This is a style of writing which is reader-focused, simple, concise, precise and accurate.
By the end of this course, participants will be better able to:
• analyze their task to:
— identify a precise objective
— understand what their reader needs in order to help them achieve this objective
• organize information accordingly
• design a text to:
— highlight key points
— guide their readers
• write concisely by omitting redundant and clichéd writing such as Officialese, Gobbledygook,
colloquialisms and local language interference
• write clearly by using shorter sentences and simpler grammar structures
• achieve impact through:
— powerful paragraph and sentence structure
— direct yet polite tone
— precise yet familiar vocabulary
• build relationships by managing sensitive messages with transparency, accountability
and sincerity.
