This coaching is for anyone in the organisation whose job involves written output - letters, reports, pitches, brochure copy, newsletters, and internal communications. We look at:

• Understanding the reader
• Structure, content and planning
• Grammar and sentence construction
• Jargon and vocabulary
• Layout and presentation

These skills can be developed in coaching or workshop sessions. With coaching, the individual's written work is first assessed. Then, areas for development are identified and relevant skills are transferred in a private session. Marked improvements can be achieved in as little as two hours.

Alternatively, a half-day workshop session is popular. This can accommodate up to six delegates.

A full-day workshop combines the two - a group lesson and then private coaching.

Dyslexia in the Workplace Almost three million adults in the UK workforce suffer from dyslexia. Most people associate the condition with impaired reading skills, but in fact symptoms are more wide-ranging, including problems with maths, prioritising, absorbing and communicating information accurately and completing tasks in sequence. Adults with undiagnosed dyslexia have often developed sophisticated coping strategies, but can hit a wall when given autonomy over managing their day and their workload.

ARK now offers coaching support for dyslexia, including: dyslexia awareness for HR professionals; diagnostic testing; and coaching support for dyslexia sufferers and their line managers. We can help dyslexic people implement highly effective self-management action plans to reduce stress for themselves and their colleagues.
