Professional Business Writing
Do you know the impact of poor writing skills on your career?
A survey of employers found that strong writing skills rated in the top 3 desired skills, behind leadership skills and the ability to work as a team member. People who have strong writing skills appear to be more capable, intelligent, responsible and credible.
With that in mind, if you struggle with writing clear and concise emails or reports, what impression is it giving to your employer of your abilities? And in turn, to clients or potential clients about you or your organisation?
Or are you competent but would like to enhance your current skills to help you progress to the next level in your career?
Here's why this training is so important today
The ability to express yourself clearly in writing is one of the most important skills in business. Effective business writing has the ability to inform, persuade and influence.
With this knowledge alone, an employee who can write with clarity is considered to be an asset to a company and is more likely to progress in their career, compared to one who struggles with their writing.

Special Bonuses
Preparation Session
To make the most of our coaching time together, we'll have a 20-minute online session to discuss your objectives, what we'll cover and when we'll meet. This will also be an opportunity for you to ask any questions that you may have prior to our first session. By completing this preparation session it will enable us to focus on your specific writing needs during the coaching sessions.
Weekly tips for 3 months
A refresher always helps you to continue practising good writing habits.
Although it's good practise to review your notes from the training, it's common that you may rarely find the time to do so.
The short weekly tips help to remind you of good writing habits and how you can implement each tip immediately.
4 weeks of email support (Premium Option Only)
Questions often arise after a training session when a person is working on applying the skills on a daily basis. Knowing that you have support to check your understanding to apply the skills well can mean the difference between making progress and becoming more productive to falling back into bad habits.
The Premium Option Special Bonus provides 4 weeks of email support following the final session. During this time, you can ask any questions that you may have about your writing.
Client feedback…
"Maria was fantastic to work with. Leading in to it, I was a little unsure about what I would be able to get out of a business writing [coaching] course, in particular that would benefit me in my specific role.
Maria was great in adapting each session to concepts and work that was relative to my individual role, using my own writing as the basis for our lessons.
I would highly recommend Maria for anyone looking to improve their writing skills; whether it is event reports, business proposals or even just everyday work emails."
Chris O'Rorke
"Maria is a great teacher and very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this [Business Writing] course for those who wish to improve their grammatical skills."
Tim Piper
"In the busyness of everyday work together with the pressures and demands of my role, my communication skills were slipping.
Maria's gentle coaching style has helped me to develop the framework and set up the parameters for both written and verbal communication, managing time and prioritising. This has helped me to get back on the right track. I'm now able to achieve more with less.
I'd highly recommend Infinite Growth as a partner to help you keep up the skills we all know we need but seldom stop to check and improve."
