Here’s what some of our clients say

Sandra has an engaging and stimulating style backed up by sound understanding of how to write to communicate effectively. Even my most reluctant writers enjoyed the process and learned some good skills.

Senior Client Service Manager
Department of Housing and Public Works

Sandra has facilitated workshops to improve capability in writing briefs and ministerials. Throughout the development of the curriculum and instructional design, Sandra demonstrated her professionalism to ensure quality training was delivered within a limited planning timeframe.

Sandra exhibited her collaborative skills throughout the entire process and actively strived to attain the desired learning outcomes. Participants have provided positive evaluations about their learning experiences.

Sandra’s open and engaging style, combined with her extensive knowledge and wonderful recounts of her own experiences, culminated in an interactive workshop about a technical subject. Participants were able to discuss writing challenges in a safe environment which afforded them the opportunity of applying their own work examples.

Sandra Hogan’s writing courses get good results with our staff and I recommend them highly. Her solid experience in writing for government ministers means her classes are very practical, as well as being lively and engaging.

Sandra’s short sharp writing courses fitted into our busy office schedule. She helped us adapt technical documents to readers in Council. We learned a lot in a short time.

Sandra is not only a great person – but is also a very talented writer. Her skill is not just in writing and editing, but in communicating a message in a clear and articulate manner. She works well with a whole range of audiences and provides excellent examples of how to achieve solid communication outcomes. She is smart, funny and very approachable.

Anne Moffat

Sandra conducted a number of basic and advanced business writing courses for Queensland Building Services Authority between 2005 -2007. Sandra’s approach to meeting the course outcomes was innovative and meet business outcomes. Sandra is very professional in her approach and worked well with managers and staff. I am happy to recommend Sandra for future work assignments.

Over the last 4 years Sandra has facilitated a variety of writing courses for our staff as part of our Annual Development program. Staff who attend her sessions, including me, have found the content and format easy to follow and very engaging. The knowledge she imparts and her skill in teaching how to write is very impressive and this is reflected in the feedback I’ve received from participants. Here is an example:

“It was a joy to receive training from such an articulate individual, clearly passionate about the subject and her profession. The workbook was easy to work through and logical in its construct. It contains useful case studies and some valuable tools, which I know I will refer to in the future. Sandra was deeply engaging and facilitated an almost immediate rapport amongst all participants, such that, I believe, everyone completed the course with some constructive plans to enhance their writing and some new network buddies. Thank you for providing a thoroughly useful, enjoyable opportunity to learn.”

Hi Sandra

I wanted to let you know that I really could relate and enjoyed your session yesterday. I came away with a lot to think about and start using.

It was the best course I have attended. Hoping that everyone takes up doing it (will be spreading the word).

It helped with my briefing note today and I had a real achievement today. My first document that I got clearance on without 1 correction.

Can honestly say

I GOT IT!
