05. How does Hurley Write customize its workshops?
We customize the course by analyzing your team’s writing samples to look for common issues. Then, along with your organization’s stakeholders, we design the course based on these issues. The exercises, breakouts, and examples are designed to ensure that your team can apply concepts to documents with which they’re familiar.
Exercises
Both generic and company-related examples are used to give participants ample opportunities to apply concepts.
Breakouts
The breakouts use one or two samples from the documents we’ve received from your company. In groups of three, participants apply the concepts to one sample. Then, they share what they’ve done with the entire group. The idea behind the breakouts is so that participants can explain the reasoning behind the choices they make; when writers understand the “why” they’re better equipped to continue to apply the concepts.
During the breakout, the instructor is actively visiting each breakout group and providing feedback and asking questions
