Description
In these focused mini-sessions, Mieke works individually with team members to strengthen their written (English) communication skills. Guidance ranges from refining grammar, structure, and style, to mastering broader strategies such as using storytelling to craft compelling emails, white papers, press releases, and presentations. Each participant leaves with personalized feedback and a tailored list of best practices to apply in their future communications, both internal and external. Attendees are encouraged to bring a sample of their own writing and specific questions to maximize the value of the session.
Benefits
Improved English language skills, improved written communication, higher confidence levels.
Additional Experience Info
It's most helpful if individuals have a piece of their writing with which we can work to demonstrate craft principles.

About the Host
I am an award winning writer with an MFA degree from The University of Iowa, and have taught narrative writing workshops at all levels for over 15 years. Specialized in narrative nonfiction and having worked in Communications for a nonprofit organization in the past, I am passionate about teaching non-writers how to harness the power of narrative and use storytelling for professional and personal empowerment. I also can guide participants in tapping into writing as a source of creative release and therapeutic self-expression. I can teach in English and Dutch, as I am fluent in both languages. I don't think there is anything more empowering for a person than to take ownership of their story and express it through their own lens. This is why I ask every business and participant in my workshops, "What's your story?"
