Most people have had very little training for writing at work. They may be able to write a thesis or a technical paper but not to produce a succinct report, a strategic proposal, or a briefing designed for a two-minute reader. Sandra Hogan’s combination of experience as a journalist, senior public servant, and facilitator places her ideally to assist people in business to gain the writing skills that will boost their careers.

Since 2005, Sandra has been training, coaching, and mentoring business people and public servants in all aspects of writing for work: from emails through reports, to ministerial or mayoral correspondence or answering customer complaints. She tailors courses and coaching programs to meet the needs of her clients. In some cases, this means a particular focus on grammar, proofreading, and editing; in others, the need to analyze and write for different audiences, plan effectively, or even just to overcome writer’s block. Participants in her workshops come away with practical skills and new confidence.

Sandra has designed and delivered more than 1,000 training courses in writing and editing to government staff since 2005. During the period she delivered this training for the Institute of Public Administration, her courses were rated in the IPAA annual reports as the most popular among the hundreds of courses they ran, due to her subject knowledge, enthusiasm, and skill in working with groups.
