The success of your career and your business depends on your ability to write a good proposal or sell ideas.That shit's tricky.

  • There's so much you want to say but you know that long waffly documents don't work

  • The proposal or bid has to speak to both a technical and non-technical audience and that feels impossible

  • You don't want to sound pushy, annoying, or like an infomercial

  • You're sick to death of your reviewer's red pen

  • You've never had any particular training in persuasive writing, and you're worried your skills aren't up to scratch

  • It takes way too long (and it's way to painful) to write a proposal or business case

Who's Shelly Davies?

Miraka Davies

Miraka (Shelly) Davies (rockstar business writer, trainer, TEDx speaker) is here to remind big companies and government agencies drowning in jargon that plain language will get you better results – every. single. time. And she’s been doing it for decades now.

Because, as it turns out, business writing is more about being courageously transparent than it is about having an impressive vocab or where the f*ck to put a semi-colon. Also true for life. When we operate with authenticity, integrity, and courage, both our writing and our lives or more powerful.

FAQ

  • How much time will I have to commit to learning?

    Shelly's a realist. She knows people who want to improve their writing at work are probably already juggling too many balls. That's why every course is made up of short, punchy videos - usually 5 minutes or less.

    Each one has a principle or a tool you can start using immediately. Some lessons have suggested activities you could practice to hone your skills. But there are no assignments or tests, and no specific time commitment.

    Watch a video while you wait for your takeout or drink your coffee in the morning. Binge-watch or graze. This is truly learning for the busy unProfessional.
