Coaching

Build skills and get help with important documents

We work with one or more writers to strengthen specific skills or help resolve problematic documents or writing issues.

We give objective, constructive input on a document—at the planning, writing, or final stages.

Do you find yourself writing in circles?

Many smart, capable people struggle with writing because they haven’t been given the right tools. The frustration is usually made worse by writing in isolation.

New tools, energy, and perspective can break the cycle.

Our coaching focuses on the whole picture

We believe in pointing out both what’s going well—so you can keep doing it—as well as areas to improve. These are specific to your project or goals.

We’re friendly, positive, and not at all like your old English teacher.

  • Get written feedback

    Know exactly where you stand as a writer—what’s going well and what areas to improve

  • Get unstuck

    Come to us with a problem to solve, like writer’s block, overwriting, or lack of confidence

  • Plan a document

    Work with us to get clear and on the right track early in the process, so you know exactly where to go next

  • Test a document

    Get us to be practice readers—you’ll leave with a nice list of suggestions to improve and finalize a draft document

Coaching affects more than you think

Gallup polls on engagement and productivity say:

  • nearly 80% of employees worldwide are not engaged or are actively disengaged at work

  • getting feedback is central to employee engagement

  • managers who do not give feedback fail to engage employees 98% of the time

  • more engaged employees are 2x as successful in their work and 21% more profitable

What people say about our coaching

My mind is blown—Where have you been the last 20 years? This makes perfect sense. Before everyone was just harping about audience, but I couldn’t translate that into how to actually write. I am excited to draft this memo now. I feel like I have wind in my sails

—Lawyer from one of the world’s top-performing law firms

In 30-minutes, I learned more about my writing capabilities (areas to improve and where I excel) than I have in 7.5+ years with my organization.

The feedback I received is foundational reference information for me going forward. My coaching session has energized me and reignited a passion I had for writing many years ago.
