Why does good writing matter? What impact does good writing have at work? What tends to go wrong? And how can we, as managers, foster a culture of good writing in our teams?
To answer these questions, Nathalie and Ross G are joined by writers John Simmons and Neil Baker. John is an independent writer and brand consultant, whose books include The Invisible Grail and The Dark Angels Trilogy. Neil is a writer and communications consultant, and Associate Poet with Canterbury’s Wise Words Festival.
Together, they work with businesses, groups and individuals to develop creative writing skills through their Dark Angels workshops.
We discuss:
- The importance of good writing at work
- Why people are afraid of writing
- How we can all become better writers.
