I offer a number of training courses to help people improve their writing skills. But sometimes, attending even the best course isn’t enough to properly address development needs. This is where my coaching and mentoring service comes in, identifying and addressing each individual’s writing needs and goals.
Through a series of one-to-one coaching sessions and email follow-up, I take a bespoke approach to developing this vital business skill. From office juniors to senior executives, anyone can learn to be a better writer in a comfortable, supportive and confidential environment.
Who is it for?
Anyone who writes as part of their job, either in a marketing role or elsewhere in the organisation. It works for total beginners, right through to those who have been doing it for a while but who need to take things to the next level. The beauty of coaching and mentoring is that it’s always focused completely on the individual’s ability and goals.
Format
The typical process involves initial calls or meetings with the person to be coached, and their manager where appropriate. I also take a look at examples of their writing. The coaching itself usually begins with two 90-minute sessions spaced 2-4 weeks apart, followed by further sessions as appropriate. The coaching can be delivered in person or remotely.
In between coaching sessions themselves, individuals can send me pieces of writing they are working on for feedback and additional one-to-one time by phone.

"So many courses I've been on and left knowing that, although the information was reasonably useful, I'd never put it into practice. This was different - I left knowing I'd picked up some really easy to follow tips that would make a real difference."

"Thanks for running a highly enjoyable course for us. Feedback from the event has been excellent and people have already put your exercises into practice - with fantastic results."

"Talking with the team at this morning's meeting, the department felt very positive about the course, and that we have all learned a lot to help us move forward with projects. Everyone seemed to learn something and have an enjoyable day.”

“The course was delivered clearly and at a pace we could all digest. All our queries were resolved and you were even available at the end of the day for clarity on anything we wanted to discuss. Thank you for educating me.”

“I have learnt more than I ever thought possible! Richard invested a great deal of time in me - much more than I expected - and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Copywriting is something I now face with a lot more confidence and my writing is better than ever.”
