Writing isn't often in the job description if you work in and around government. But by really mastering this skill, you'll connect with others, change minds – and make good things happen.
In this session, our Editor-in-Chief Tom Jeffery will give you tips for overcoming the common challenges public servants face when writing. From writing a compelling brief, to sending a persuasive email or blogging about your work, this workshop will show you how to inspire action with words.
You'll learn how to:
- Understand the principles of persuasion and apply them in your writing
- Craft effective messages that will have impact
- Tell compelling stories that will connect you and your audience
- Gain confidence in writing for your peers
Who should watch:
You might be new to writing in government and want to learn some practical tips to improve your skills — or you might be a more experienced writer looking for new ways to bring your writing to life.
