Clearly passionate for training in writing, McNicholas is both professional and approachable. He has distilled what could easily be a two day course into one, finding the core elements of writing for business that are troublesome and overlooked and once understood, make the biggest and most lasting impact. Best of all, participants come out with an increased confidence in what I happen to think is one of the best gifts we can give to each other: communication.

Participant feedback from workshops held in Adelaide
All comments taken from evaluation forms completed by participants.

Very creative and refreshingly different from other business related courses.

Well done – brilliant workshop and clearly a lot of thought has gone into how to make a ‘dry’ subject entertaining and fun.

A great refresher. Makes you rethink how/why you write in a particular style. Covered all the basic rules.

Well done. A good, practical guide to help business writers.

Great with the games, exercises and songs to make the ideas sink in.

I thought this was the best facilitated workshop of its kind that I have attended.
