Practice. I took several courses but the most impactful was the one which forced me to write (no editing) for an hour for a month. Changed my life.

What were some courses that you took? The no-editing one sounds absolutely amazing!

I took: How to Write Better A bunch of Second City courses (satirical essay) A couple of Gotham writing courses (Creative Writing I and Memoir/Essayist) Currently redoing College Writing I on Outlier (it is FANTASTIC)

Would this course be designed for people interested in blogging/writing books or people looking to be better at communicating for example: communicating with work colleagues, writing a self review etc for work etc.

It’s an employer offering this course to all employees as part of a general comms upskill program.

What a dream 😅 that’s so awesome.

definitely a crash course on good outlining, aka how to build a “skeleton” and then write around it also, workshops where you give learners a pre-written sentence or paragraph and have them edit it/shuffle things around is a great exercise

Oh love the outline one! The sentence shuffle is also a great icebreaker.

Journaling (long form!). It’s important to identify our own internal voice(s) and get comfortable with it(them) daily. Helps with everything from email and decks to novels/memoirs. Then, some basic psychology to help discern who you’re communicating to and how to speak to them.
