1 Day Influential Writing - Writing for Influence and Impact

Introduction
 
At different times, customers, suppliers, bosses, colleagues, friends, and family members, each place different communication demands on us, don't they?

They force us to interact, and in moments of pressure, it means we may react, rather than respond. At other times, we ourselves may need instead, to initiate communication.

Though we might prefer to speak to others directly, voice-to-voice may not always be possible. In these cases, we most probably need to write.

Sadly, when others are in a hurry, they may have little time to read what you write, especially if your style turns them off.

So, just how effective are your written communications ...

- Do you always achieve what you originally intended?
- Are you comfortable with the basics of grammar?
- Do you wish your words could be improved?

Effective writing is purposeful and engaging. Grammar is structured in ways that motivate others to read. Unless you cover these basics, you may never influence others to action.

Influential writing needs to go beyond logic. Grammar needs to hook into their emotions: it needs to affect your readers.

This Workshop therefore takes an emotionally intelligent approach to writing. Our focus places considerable attention on engaging your reader, so they read your words.

This is reinforced with a strong belief that good writing, (whether on paper, email or text) begins by understanding others. Only then, can you empathise, connect, and move them in influential ways.
 
Workshop Objectives
 
Our intentions are to foster an emotionally intelligent approach to writing. It is an approach that is especially beneficial for those who don't always like writing.

You'll use the skills to reframe your concept of writing. The emphasis helps move your writing mindset from that of a "tiresome chore", to one of a "creative challenge".

Emotional Intelligence sits well at the heart of this soft skills Workshop. EQ will be used to motivate people to read your words, and, influence them into action having read them.
 
 
 
 
Workshop Outlines
 
  • Clarifying purpose & intentions when writing
  • Purposefully embracing emotional Intelligence
  • Exploring the core elements in persuasive writing
  • Targeting grammatical fundamentals to cultivate interest
  • Structuring the flow to align your intentions with your audience
  • Emotionally connecting with your readers by exploring storytelling
  • Examining ways to incorporate storytelling elements into your writing
  • Appreciating perspectives and developing rapport by embracing choice
  • Concentrating action to create more understandable, productive words
  • Staying flexible to succinctly shape your stories towards action
 
Facilitation Approach for Learning
 
This is an experiential Workshop, which emphasises engagement, interaction, and practice. Participants should expect short presentations that introduce content, experiential activities for skills practise, and group discussions for reflection that deepens their learning.
 
Who Should Attend This Workshop?
 
This one-day Workshop is designed for people at all levels who want to feel more comfortable, and become more influential, when writing.

Your Workshop Facilitator: Mr. Patrick O'Brien, CMgr
 
 
With a constant appetite for change, Patrick came to realise one very important thing: it's the People that matter in business, personal development and growth counts. His learning delivery approach therefore focuses on building those important soft skills. Training thus scaffolds atop three firm foundations.

First, for learning to stick, it needs to be fun; enjoyment & engagement are precursors to absorption & adoption. Next, for learning to be relevant, it has to be real; it needs collaboration, openness, and a little intensity. Finally, for learning to be desirable, it must match expectations; it has to substantially deliver what it says "on the tin".

Patrick therefore designs Workshop experiences that masterfully combine Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) with a deep Coaching mentality. Both are invitingly interlaced using Improvisational techniques. His diverse background and experience also allow him to facilitate inclusive and valuable learning moments. These are highly engaging, empowering, and, enjoyable.

His life's journey has straddled different countries and cultures in Ireland, England, New Zealand and Singapore. He has worked his way through a variety roles, from individual contributor to Managing Director, in the corporate world. And, he has built considerable business experience along the way in working across sectors such as government, technology, manufacturing, finance, consulting, aviation, telecommunications and the Internet.

His formal education is well rounded: Honours in IT, Masters in Marketing and MBA in Finance. He is also a "Master Practitioner" of NLP, and an enthusiastic author with Articles regularly appearing in the local media. In whatever form you experience his work, you'll always feel his curiously cheerful sense of enjoyment; it shines through.

Patrick is an active member of many international Professional bodies, such as the Chartered Management Institute, the Chartered Institute of Marketing and the Institute of Directors. He is proud to be one of only a small handful of "Chartered Managers" in Asia.

With a warm Irish wit, a love of the "craic" and a big beaming smile, audiences in over twenty-five countries have found his disarmingly unpretentious and conversational approach to learning, to be refreshing and rewarding experiences.

Pressure Creates Diamonds

By Evan Sanders


There's an old saying that goes something along the lines of...

You can become a diamond if you handle pressure very well.

Everyone on this planet is faced with pressure.

The pressure comes from all everywhere, inside and outside. However, it's about how you handle the pressure that really matters.

Everything comes down to choice and that's what I want to help you make today.

We are all going to be faced with adversity and tragedies in life but the major difference maker between those who crumble to pieces and those who turn into diamonds is how they decide to react to life's tests and trials.

How are you going to handle the pressure?

One person decides that they are going to be the victim and stops taking care of themselves completely. They let everything fall apart in their lives and continue to play the "woe is me" game.

The second person decides that they are going to face their problems and understand that pressure is the name of the game. Pressure is part of what makes you grow.

They know that the pressure makes them stronger and better.

If only we could take on this attitude about our problems in life.

We all face these great pressures.

Never lose sight of that.

There's something inside each of us that has been given to us since birth that we must use. Resilience. Resilience and the ability to fight against what is fighting us. We have to be willing and able to go to battle for what we believe in.

For those who are willing to step into their struggles, they will change the world in ways that haven't been done before. They will be able to shape and morph their lives for the good of others.

And for the final piece of the puzzle...

You will start requesting challenges because you know they make you stronger.

You will ask whatever you believe in...for more challenges on your journey to make you grow into the person you need to become.

And eventually, you will see them all as a gift.

The choice is really yours.

Turn into coal or turn into a diamond?

Diamonds...

Checkpoints On Resume Writing San Francisco CA

By Betty Turner


The persuasive and quality content of your resume would always determine if you would get a chance to work in a given establishment or not. The individual seeking to employ does not know you in any way and thus the content will go a long way in convincing him or her to take you for interviews. Very close attention should be paid in resume writing San Francisco ca.

You should also try to understand why you are formulating your resume. Stick to what your purpose is. You must never be general in this kind of writing but try to be very specific and straightforward. Do not put much irrelevant information in the vitae. Try as much as possible to get words which can give you credit in this particular job.

The format of your curriculum vitae must be very noteworthy. The style you use in you piece matters a lot. You need to get that attention of the reader through the format you use. They will strive to give your CV the attention it deserves. Ensure that you do not have any bad sentences, spelling errors, syntactic errors or even giving informal expressions. Ensure that you are professional to be able to beat any other applicant for that job.

You must learn how to use and manipulate words to fit your abilities and favor you in this kind of application. Be very decisive and don not write anything that you would think of in that moment. In The entire writing, you will be convincing the employer to take you for the job. Thus getting the most attention is what you should strive to do . Be truthful, remain professional and remember that honesty is a virtue.

Another thing you must consider is the format to be used. This will be chosen according to the job you would be applying to. Maintain a single format throughout your writing and remain organized to give your reader an easy timer to follow what you will be stating. You can use various formats in various professional writing. In case you find yourself confused, try to search for some samples online and use them to assist you.

You need to consider the length of your content of your piece. The curriculum vitae must not be very long. A page may be single for any employer. A short CV will always catch the attention of the individual wishing to recruit you. A very long writing may negate your content. Remaining shorts and explicit will make your CV considered in this application.

Writing the right curriculum vitae may not be as hard as some people may think. The only thing you need is the brainpower, right information, and a computer. Get to know the various steps, which you should follow in your writing. This will depend with the model you chose to follow.

Proofreading must not be underestimated too. Failure to go through your work may make the employer throw the curriculum vitae to trash in case it has some errors. Do not trust the word processor in detecting every error you make. Try to read the piece by yourself and make sure it appears clear.

The Benefits Of Hiring A Writing Consultant Sacramento CA Professional

By Daniel Brooks


Loan and grant application is not that simple. However, you can increase your chances of winning when you hire the services of a consultant. In fact, they can also help you in other kinds of writing besides this. There are several advantages of working with a writing consultant Sacramento CA professional.

Application development is a time-consuming task especially for those who are not experienced. However, it will take less time for someone who has been doing this kind of a task to finish it. Also, the chances of the application being successful are increased in this case.

The consultants link up with their colleagues so as to get help in case the document development needs resources or connections which are not available. You cannot benefit from this if you are new in the field. When you do not have all the necessary materials, then the document will be substandard.

Past experiences are very helpful. Besides this, the consultants follow the changing trends in the market. When the individual had dealt with a similar issue before, it will be very easy to use the skills and knowledge which has already being gained to develop a super project. Forging ahead blindly might mess you up because you are likely to commit mistakes. Manuals and descriptions are not always exhaustive. Nonetheless, the consultant can fill you in on the items which are missing in the guidelines.

People who are committed to the industry will not let you down. They are more concerned with client satisfaction than the money they will get from the project. Such a person will meet all your expectations. Someone who is only interested in extorting money from you will not care about your needs.

Individuals who had procured the services before can help you get a great consultant. When doing everything on your own, you might end up wasting much money and even time. When several people are involved, then you succeed within a short while. Poor choices are made when you are overwhelmed with the task at hand.

You ought to be mindful of the cost too. Therefore, do not just hire the first person who comes to your mind. You should compare the price catalogs to ensure that you are not overcharged. You can be able to determine the average prices when you have quotations from different individuals. Also, you have to bargain if there is a chance to negotiate. You can land a cheaper deal.

You should ask the consultant to give you regular updates on the progress of the project. When this is done, you will get a chance to make adjustments before the final document is printed. Do not shy away from making suggestions to the consultant. Your ideas can go a long way in helping the professional come up with an item that suits your needs precisely. You ought to get value for every dime you are using.
