Get It Write
Learn the essentials of high-quality business writing. Help your team write emails and reports that actually get read – and acted on.
81% of professionals say poorly written material wastes a lot of their time.*

Your people write every single day — emails, reports, briefings, proposals, updates. It’s one of the most constant activities in any enterprise. Which means every piece of writing is an opportunity. Specifically, three of them:
- Save time. Write it once, clearly, and move on. No follow-up emails, no rewrites, no ‘can you clarify what you meant?’
- Save face. Every email your team sends is a reflection of your organisation. Poor writing quietly erodes credibility. Great writing builds it.
- Get better results. High-quality writing is easier to read, easier to act on, and far more likely to get the outcome you were after.
Get It Write teaches your team to do all three — in a tailored, one-day masterclass.
By the end of this course, you'll be able to:
- Confidently tackle most business-writing tasks. Write emails, reports and updates that get to the point, and stay there.
- Lead with the most important information so busy readers get the message even if they skim.
- Apply a clear, repeatable structure to any business document, regardless of topic or length.
- Cut jargon and waffle without losing substance and know the difference.
- Write with greater confidence and spend significantly less time on drafts and rewrites.
- Use AI tools more effectively — with the human judgment to know when to override them.
- The AI advantage: AI can draft your words, but can’t ensure clarity, influence, and impact. We’ll teach you both — the human skills and the AI smarts.

What our clients say
Such an awesome workshop! The feedback from participants has been fantastic. The day was full of valuable learnings and incredible energy. When I stopped by, it sounded more like a party than a workshop! Although it was a long day, the team walked away feeling inspired and energised.
The workshop failed to meet my expectations as I thought it would be super boring. It was so engaging. I can't believe I was able to stay focused the entire time!
One of the best and most useful courses I have done. Online presenter was excellent. This course was so good I want it mandatory for all Supply Chain people that write any form of document.
One of the best workshops I’ve attended. Very knowledgeable subject matter expert; facilitating a thoroughly interesting, enjoyable and engaging workshop. The session combined solid theory/science, clear practical case-studies and afforded opportunities to apply learnings. Thank you!
Really fantastic course. Probably the best I've ever done. I feel this will have a greater impact on my career than most technical-oriented courses. Effective communication as an engineer is so important and often underappreciated.
I've done a few writing courses through work. This one is the best by far.
Amazing course. Such a refreshing change from many of the dry courses on communication. 10/10!
Quite possibly the best course I've ever been on. It's helped me no end with my writing. You may have just changed my working life.
My emails now motivate readers to do what I ask!
Your overall approach was impressive, practical and not too academic. Our consultants now write with more flair and interest, focus on the most important issues and adapt well to different audiences.
Highly pragmatic and instantly implementable.
I've found all this new information incredibly valuable and quite empowering! Thank you for what has probably been the best and most informative in-house training session I have ever attended!
This has got to be the most excited I've seen our team about their writing. They now feel armed with knowledge on how to move forward confidently.
We were surprised at how much we learned and how much fun it was. Since most of what we do is via writing, I expect big productivity gains from my team.
My team immediately saw changes in my writing (punchy subject lines, shorter sentences, involvement techniques).
Your course was an amazing experience. It's truly changed how I’ll plan, organise and write emails and reports.
Your tips and advice, and I used them all, made my last report 1000% easier to write. Best of all, our client loved it, saying it was very well written, very readable, well presented, and logical.
The course was much more relevant, interesting and practical than anything I did at Uni on reports/writing. It'll give me an edge for jobs in the future.
I’ve been on heaps of courses during my ‘many years’ in industry (ha) and this was definitely the best one yet!
One of the most useful courses I have done in my whole 30-year career!
