Extra Value Received from Team Training
"My writing improved significantly by taking your writing workshop…While each staff member improved their writing, the office gained even more from our collective improvements. Staff routinely map thoughts before writing a word and, consequently, produce a better-written document. We accept editing from others more openly and less personally than before. Because everyone understands editing improves one’s writing rather than being a criticism of one’s writing, we produce better documents with less struggle".
