Making words work: Helping a global team find their voice

When you’re creating conversion content, your business has got to have one consistent tone – whether it’s in an article, LinkedIn post or even in a webinar presentation.

Consistency allows people to get a clear image of your organisation’s brand and builds trust.

At this global professional services organisation, there was a disconnect. With employees from all over the world – many on secondment from member firms – their writing styles varied, as did levels of understanding about what good business writing looked like. 

A tone of voice and style guide existed, but few knew about them or understood how to put the principles into practice.

Aligning content and people

We designed and delivered a hands-on, engaging programme to power up their writing. 

Interactive workshops

Forget dull lectures. These workshops were designed to be fun, practical, and full of lightbulb moments. They covered:

  • How to recognise (and refine) your own writing style
  • The must-knows of the tone of voice and style guide
  • Hands-on practice writing in the right style
  • Key grammar and style refreshers to keep things razor sharp.

Weekly ‘Clinic with Clare’

An open-door writing clinic where team members could bring in real work examples, get personalised feedback, and finetune their skills. No judgement, just helpful, practical advice.

Mic Drop Moment

The team reported:

  • A-ha moments that stuck with them long after the workshops ended.
  • Sharper, clearer, and more professional writing across the board
  • More confidence in their communication skills

“Thanks for organising the workshop yesterday. It was an excellent session, and I was glad there was so much participation from everyone. It opened my eyes to my own communication style across all the work I do, and I’ve already started putting changes into effect. The exercises worked well, and there was a good balance between group and individual work. It would be good to regularly revisit this topic.”
