Testimonials

One-on-one online coaching


Nicki Lesirge, Marketing Manager, Mitre Sports International, London:
"I am so pleased with the skills I have gained on this writing course. I have not only learnt some invaluable writing techniques that I will no doubt use throughout the rest of my life, I have also gained huge amounts of confidence in my writing ability. Rolf offered lots of encouragement, and although the entire course was done remotely, I feel I gained more having the one to one sessions over the phone than I would in a classroom full of students. The online part of the course was so clear and well structured that I found it extremely easy to learn from, and then the exercises that followed ensured I was putting the skills I had learnt into action. I would recommend this writing course to anyone."

Carmela Savoca, Head of Marketing - Post Trade Services Reuters Sales and Trading, London:
"This was an excellent writing course that will help me structure my communications better. Afterwards I went straight back to my desk and deleted a document I had been struggling with for a while and started anew."

Karen Almeida, Head of European Investor Relations, Reuters London:
"As you know, this year’s (2006) Reuters Annual Review was awarded the Clear English Standard by the Plain Language Commission. I was particularly pleased that Reuters was the first FTSE 100 company to have achieved this accolade. Our success was due in no small measure to your course, which did an excellent job of helping to make my writing clear, structured and relevant. My jargonometer is now tuned to ‘high’, the passive tense is relegated to a dusty corner and my subordinate clauses are well and truly under control."

Stephane Vincent, Service Owner, Reuters Trade and Risk Management, Paris:
"Rolf came to Paris to train 3rd level customer support staff in Reuters Financial Solutions. It was an absolutely on-topic session, just what the whole support group of more than 30 staff needed. This customized training transformed our ability to communicate efficiently with our partners through email. We will definitely recommend Rolf to other departments."

Kathy Komar, SVP Reuters Global Head of Projects, Search and Content Technologies,
New York:

"Rolf's class brought a wonderful fresh new perspective to the project management team. The team is now writing shorter, more effective emails escalating the key issues to senior management in a very effective manner. This has dramatically improved the response! The waiting list for Rolf's course continues to grow!"
