I recently set up a new venture to help people improve their writing skills.
The JMP Writing Coach is designed to help them break down any barriers language can pose. Barriers to getting a job, a promotion, or to being recognised as an expert in their field. Barriers, too, for securing higher marks at university or TAFE.
I saw a need for the JMP Writing Coach when I met several people highly accomplished in their specialist fields and yet, they still asked me for advice on writing.
Writing is a skill that can be taught and can be learnt.
Despite their impressive qualifications and obvious capabilities, they could not always find the words they sought when they applied for a job, set up a LinkedIn profile, put together presentations or reports or attempted to convince others of the merit of their arguments.
OFTEN, THEY KNEW WHAT THEY WANTED TO SAY
BUT THEY DID NOT KNOW HOW TO SAY IT.
As I wanted to help, I returned to university during the pandemic to secure a postgraduate teaching qualification with a focus on the English language.
In the JMP Writing Coach, I combine the teaching skills with a career history in writing to help people develop their writing abilities so they can more easily reach for their potential and live out their dreams.
While they may not yet have mastered the skill of writing, that’s okay. I am ambitious for them because I believe writing is a skill that can be taught and can be learnt.
I am also pleased that this new venture is a continuation of my mother’s early work in literacy. The JMP Writing Coach is a legacy project.
