MORNING SESSION: Real-Deal Tools to Prep Your Interview Teams

You’re shortlisted. Bravo! Now it’s time to prep for the interview. How can you help your team speak to your client’s needs and present with comfort and confidence? In this 3.5-hour, high-energy, interactive workshop, we’ll dig into:

AFTERNOON SESSION: Two Gracewriting Treats!

1. Fat-Free Gracewriting: It’s Time to Put Your Writing on a Diet (1.5 hours)

In today’s lightning-fast business environment, no one has time to read wordy letters, confusing reports or boring website copy. In this 1.5-hour interactive workshop, learn to be clear, concise and correct with a healthy plate of fat-free writing!

2. Writing Proposals with Your Whole Brain (2 hours)

We’ve all read the proposal blah-blah, haven’t we? “This is who we are, this is what we do, and this is why we’re great.” It’s self-centered, boring, and it’s just plain blah-blah!

What if your proposal content spoke directly to your clients’ thinking prefs and styles? The Herrmann Brain Dominance Instrument (HBDI^®) is the world’s leading thinking-styles assessment tool. It helps us understand how people prefer to think, process information and communicate.

In this fun 2-hour hands-on workshop, you’ll learn to use Whole Brain^® Thinking to craft proposals that will reach your readers and help them make wise decisions!
