WriteNow
Training Program
"Giving
you the tools to express yourself!" is our motto.
It's simple and direct—exactly
what your writing should be. The WriteNow
Training Program
will teach you to develop your writing skills so that your
e-mails, letters and reports are clear and to the point—something
that everyone who reads them will appreciate.
A
Hands-On
Learning Experience
|
1. |
Benefit:
Greater Insight
Our workshops begin
with a brief overview of the parts of
speech
(nouns, verbs, adjectives, etc.) and how each part
works as a building block
in writing sentences.
|
|
2. |
Benefit: Better
Focus
We
move on to a series of exercises which will help you
"think like a writer." In
the first exercise, you'll write simple
paragraphs, making sure that each sentence
builds on the one which came before it so that your
paragraphs
are focused, reaching logical conclusions readers can
easily understand.

3. |
Benefit:
Increased Confidence
Next,
we ask you to correct material taken from magazines and
newspapers. Is the text well written? Is the meaning
clear? Fixing other writers' mistakes teaches you to
avoid similar problems and strengthens your
own writing. As the
WriteNow Training Program advances,
you'll see your writing skills—as well as your
confidence—continue to grow.

Benefit:
Successful Correspondence
In
the last exercise, you'll write a standard business letter
starting with an outline
to organize your thoughts. Your
letter will include an introduction, a body and a closing
asking for the sale—whether you're a banker, a lawyer or
a scientist, your letters should always close with a
specific request. The WriteNow Training Program
will teach you to increase the "asking power" of
your letters so that your correspondence is much more
successful.

Benefit:
Detailed Analysis
During
the exercises, we assess your writing to determine its
strengths
and weaknesses, providing
detailed analysis
to help
you improve (something which self-help materials can't provide). Reviews
are always performed in
a
positive way, encouraging you to
develop your writing skills. |
WriteNow
Individual and
Group Training
Trimount presents the WriteNow
Training Program in two different formats: individual training for executives and group training for managers.
Individual
Training. If you're looking to
perfect your writing
skills, our individual training offers one-on-one assistance,
allowing you to focus on particular difficulties such as
simplifying text to make it clearly understood. In addition to
greater scheduling flexibility, individual training lets you fine-tune
your writing skills in the privacy of your office without anyone else present.
Group
Training. If you're one of several
managers looking to enhance your writing—or you're in charge of
training and development for your company—our group training
fosters a team spirit motivating participants to improve their
writing skills. The
WriteNow
Training Program's core training
module takes approximately four hours to complete and is easily
adapted to a particular company or industry. Two
review sessions are included in the training to reinforce the basics
learned in the core training. Each review session lasts two hours.
In general, our fees range from a minimum of $300 for individual
training to $1200 for group training. The program can be
customized to
fit your needs and budget.
WriteNow
training
is available Monday through Saturday and can be conducted on
site at your office, or at an off-site location as well.
