Writing Training

(that’s actually fun!)

Want to be crisp, clear, and ridiculously easy to work with?

Here are your options.

In-house training

  • Do you have a group of people who want to sharpen up their writing? Colleen Trolove will bring the revolution (and the party) to you.

    In-house training is rarely this good or this impactful.

    For inspiration, enthusiasm, and real change, Colleen’s the trainer you need.

  • Let’s get the whole team together! They can bond as well as work on their writing.

    Is that not practical for your group? No worries – we can train over Teams or Zoom.

Blended learning

  • Blended learning is ideal for teams who:

    • can’t take a full day or two away from work

    • are spread over different cities or time zones

    • have a big mix of introverts and extroverts.

  • Cover the theory before we meet so that when we get together, you already have a strong foundation.

    Make better use of the time we have in the room together.

  • Want to know if training really works? So does Colleen!

    That’s why she offers assessments of people’s writing before and after blended learning.

Online learning

  • If you’re looking to upskill yourself and learn online, The School of unProfessional Writing is for you. (Also available for corporate subscriptions.)

    Graze or binge, join the global movement to get unschooled.

    Speaking

    Miraka is – quite simply – remarkable. She’s the enthralling keynote you’re looking for to set the tone for your entire event.

    Possibly the love-child of P!nk and Brené Brown, Miraka Davies is real. Raw. And her vulnerability cuts straight to the heart.

    Online

    Alert the LinkedIn Police, because at the School of unProfessional Writing, Miraka and Colleen are deconstructing our out-of-date ideas of ‘professionalism’.

    No more subconscious bias. No more systemic racism. No more writing that fails people. Get un-schooled.
