Great courses take time to mature. Multi-award winning author and strategist Pete Moore PhD has spent a decade developing training courses that now have a solid reputation for excellence. They help people develop efficient means of working out what they want to say, and then see how to present that information in a way that can achieve maximum impact.
Since 2005, over 6000 participants have attended courses run in the UK, The Nethrlands and Germany. Many people explicitly state that ThinkWrite courses were the most helpful and enjoyable training events they have ever attended.
We work with individuals and teams:
