Individual Coaching
1-on-1 writing training with Colleen Trolove
Do you want to improve your writing skills?
Congratulations, you’ve found your coach!
I work with individuals who want to communicate better in writing.
My 1-on-1 sessions are tailored to your needs. Your writing becomes the base for the coaching so that everything we cover is directly relevant to your work.
How coaching works
Get in touch and tell me what you want to work on.
I’ll recommend a programme based on your needs.
What normally happens is 3 sessions, each 1.5 hours long, a week or two apart.
This gives you time to practise the skills before we build on them at your next session.
Kim Donovan, Senior Response Advisor, Auckland Emergency Management:
“I’ve been working with Colleen for nearly a year now, and her advice has been amazing! I’m new to writing technical documents where complex information needs to be said in a simple way.
Colleen has been instrumental in navigating me through this specialised way of writing. Her attention to detail and the gentle way she suggests improvements makes the whole process painless.”
The specifics
Who’s it for?
Anyone whose job involves writing at work.
After each coaching session
I email you a summary so you’ve got writing reminders at your fingertips.
How much?
$250 + gst per hour
What format?
Usually online, but if you’re in Wellington we can meet in person.
Before each coaching session
You give me samples of your writing. I create the coaching from them.
Do you coach more than 1 person at once?
Yes. I’ll coach up to 4 people in one session – but only if they have the same needs. It’s $250 + gst per person per hour.
Jon Cunliffe, Stormwater Lead, Marlborough District Council:
“Colleen’s coaching is transformational: highly recommended with a great return investment.
Colleen has gently and with skill offered tweaks and has redirected my approach to flow and sentence construction.
I feel very comfortable about the changes and I trust my reader audiences do too.”
