Course Outline / Curriculum
You will spend the first part of the day getting to know participants and discussing what will take place during the workshop. Students will also have an opportunity to identify their personal learning objectives.
Getting Down to Business
To get started, we will look at some basic ways that business writing is different from literary writing. Participants will also explore the two major types of proposals: formal and informal.
Writing Your Proposal
During this session, participants will learn what background information to gather and how to organize it. Participants will also learn about using drafts and versions, and some terminology that they can use to label their proposals.
Getting Thoughts on Paper
There are three easy steps to get started on writing a proposal. You will present each of them in a lecture. Participants will then apply these techniques to a case study.
Basic Proposal Formats
During this lecture, we will look at indirect and direct proposals. Participants will then turn a direct proposal into an indirect proposal.
Expert Editing Tips
This session will explore some basic editing techniques, including the readability index.
The Handshake
Often, you will need to greet people before and/or your presentation. This session will offer participants some tips on a key element of their greeting: the handshake.
Getting Ready for Your Presentation
We will offer participants some preparation tips. Then, participants will learn how to pump up their language to be persuasive without being pushy.
Elements of a Successful Presentation

Dressing Appropriately

Presentations

Schedule Dates and Booking
There are currently no scheduled dates.
Please note that this course needs a minimum of 6 delegates to schedule
a course. You can choose to be added to the waiting list by clicking the
button below and we will contact you when we have enough delegates
interested. Should we not get enough delegates, we will refund or credit
your paid booking.
Should you need this course urgently, the following options are
available:
Pay for 6 delegates (whether you have them or not) and we will
schedule the course as soon as possible.
If you have fewer delegates and cannot pay for 6, we can negotiate
a shortened course where some of the time will be spent in blended
learning - watching videos and doing tutorials and exercises with
some contact time with the trainer. We would want to discuss what
your core needs are so that we cover those aspects. You need to have
paid for 3 delegates at least.
