Project Description
Is there a story you want to share? Tools, techniques and tactics to help you harness the power of writing.
Nov 18, 2014 – Is your head filled with ideas but when you try to express them –orally or in writing– they don’t come out the way you want? Do you want to be clearer in your thoughts, freer in your imagination, and more successful in your goals? Would you like to communicate better? How about a greater understanding your feelings and those of others? Is there a story you want to share? Are you always saying you should write but never do? This session will focus on various tools, techniques and tactics to help you harness the power of writing for personal, spiritual and work-related benefit. You don’t have to be a natural writer or have writing as part of your life mission to use these methods to your advantage. Some are as simple as approaching lists differently. There’ll be a discussion about how and why these approaches work, along with writing exercises.
