So why choose me to train your team?
Firstly, I’ve been doing this for a ridiculously long time
I have been training teams since 2008. That’s hundreds of people across more than 50 organisations.
Naturally, I’ve come to learn what works and what doesn’t – and how to adapt my workshops to different groups.
And as a former Monash University lecturer, I’m also very comfortable in front of a crowd.
But I also know my stuff
Being an engaging presenter is just half the story. When it comes to writing skills training, your team deserves to learn from a subject matter expert too.
And with me, that’s exactly what they get – a passionate communications professional with 13+ years’ writing experience.
|
Writing is my bread and butter – it’s what I do day in, day out. |
|
I practise what I preach. I use the techniques and tips I teach every single day (that’s how I know they work). |
|
Better yet, your team will love hearing my real-life stories and entertaining anecdotes. |
So would you rather spend your dollars on a trainer who simply teaches the subject matter – or an experienced professional who actually practises it?

Brands that I have run digital writing training for
I travel across Australia
Although I’m in Melbourne, I regularly run training for clients in Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide and Canberra.
Based outside of metro Melbourne? That’s not a problem either. I’m also very familiar with the highways across regional Victoria.
And unlike other training providers, I’ll never slot in a ‘local resource’ to come train your team. Your trainer will be me – and always me. It’s the only way I can ensure a consistent, quality delivery every single time.
Exactly what I was hoping for
‘Fantastic and valuable day, Vikki. You managed to cover so much useful content and my team got a huge amount out of it. The mix of theory and activities was also exactly what I was hoping for. This workshop has given us a lot to improve on and I am sure will make a real difference.’
Michael Jones – Deputy Director of Marketing
But here’s the best part…
My workshops are guaranteed!
Because I have been training with outstanding results for so long, I am extremely comfortable in offering this workshop guarantee:
If you feel your people don’t get value from the day, you don’t have to pay.
It’s as simple as that.
A well-paced and interesting web writing program
‘Vikki delivers a well-paced and interesting web writing program. She is extremely knowledgeable and inventive and the feedback from attendees has been extremely favourable. She is easy to work with and I would have no hesitation in recommending Vikki for the delivery of a web writing course.’
Jill Lewis – Web Training Consultant
Got some burning questions?
I am always only a phone call away. But if you’re reading this at some ungodly hour of the night – or while on your phone at the opera – here are some quick FAQs you might find useful.
Do you run public sessions for individuals?
No. I only run in-house programs on clients’ premises (for groups of up to 15 people). Here’s why:
|
By learning together, your team will develop a sense of unity and consistent approach to writing |
|
Your session can be tailored to your specific needs and areas of concern |
|
I can incorporate relevant examples and activities that your team will relate to |
Can we train more than 15 people?
You sure can. Just let me know how many you have in mind and I can work out the best solution for you.
I cap sessions at 15 people because I believe groups any larger reduce opportunities for personal interaction and feedback.
I have a handful of larger clients (typically local government organisations and universities) who invite me in to train new groups of staff once a month or quarter. If this is of interest to you, please ask me about a special volume rate.
What will my team learn?
Please contact me for a full program outline. But in the meantime, here’s a small taste of what I cover:
|
How to write online personas – a practical activity |
|
3 facts about your online audience (you didn’t want to know) |
|
The dos and don’ts of effective web linking |
|
How to make scanning effortless for your audience |
|
Effective headline ideas to make life easier |
|
8 golden rules for writing clearer sentences online |
|
Avoiding unnecessary words and word groups |
But let me stress: I always tailor sessions to my clients’ needs. So the program outline should be taken as a guide only.
What is the structure of the sessions?
Workshops are always fun, engaging and interactive.
Although I do lay down some important theoretical foundations at the start of the day, the sessions are hands-on and activity based. I encourage lots of dialogue and discussion – and work hard to get everyone involved.
But let me stress: I always tailor sessions to my clients’ needs. So the program outline should be taken as a guide only.
What do we get for our investment?
|
Fully customised course material using actual examples for your team to critique and improve |
|
A 40-page workbook for each participant (also a valuable reference long after the workshop is over) |
|
One-on-one feedback on any piece of writing participants bring to the session |
|
A life-time invitation for participants to contact me for feedback on any piece of digital writing |
How do you charge?
Unlike other providers, I charge a fixed fee for groups of up to 15 people (not per head). That’s why I always encourage my clients to get bums on all 15 seats for maximum value.
And because I don’t believe in generic training, all workshops are tailored to your needs at no added cost.
However, fees may vary slightly according to your location and workshop length. So please get in touch for a quote.
Yes, we’re ready to write powerful digital content
