Our business relies on getting prompt responses to our emails. After just the first session of Worktalk’s email effectiveness program, our response rate increased significantly. I have also noticed that my staff is much more concise in their writing. The training contributed to a noticeable increase in our productivity and results. In addition, Liz made learning fun!

Given that the class was via MS Teams, I was fearful there would be some loss of classroom environment. Ms. Danziger was able to conduct the course in a professional manner which kept the feel of a classroom environment alive.

Thank you so much for your helpful course on writing and revising you conducted last week on behalf of the CalCPA Foundation. That was the most relevant writing class that I’ve taken, including college.

I had been struggling with miscellaneous errors in my final audit reports during the peer review process. The discussion on how your brain works differently led me to change how I prepare and finalize my reporting. Now, I do not do both on the same day, and now I am catching errors that would have continued to be an embarrassment when my peers find them.

Also, I’m working on the other item of interest, which is to stop editing when I am writing! Just let the thoughts flow and then go on from there.

The absolute best two hours I’ve spent in a long time.

I will be looking for other courses you teach

At the start of my professional career, the company I worked with brought Elizabeth in to teach our office a writing class.  Her teachings have stayed with me until this day. My writing has been less wordy, more organized, improved tone, and I am better at getting the point across more effectively.

 The knowledge she shares has been such a valuable tool throughout my career. I’ve been very grateful for having the opportunity to have learned from such a great professional.

The writing training has other consequences in addition to learning grammar. When people don’t know how to communicate, they tend to communicate less. These people either won’t write an email, or they won’t give the reader a call to action. This has a negative effect on the organization. The trainings have made a difference for many groups, not just entry level employees.

Your training was terrific! Using samples of our company’s documents as training examples helped us see how to apply the learning to our own work. Your explanation of the whole writing process, from planning to revision, helped us see the whole process in an integrated way. I know that our participants appreciated the pain-free way you did the grammar review, too.Your 95% approval rating was among the highest we’ve seen for an outside presenter. In the weeks following the training, I noticed a clear improvement in our people’s writing — more to the point, less wordy and better organized. Thanks!

Worktalk trained our reservations staff in using email and breaking bad news. We found Liz to be open to customizing content to meet our needs and easy to work with. The team recognized the importance of the message delivered by Liz and her training set the foundation for ongoing improvement in how we communicate disappointing news to our customers. My staff’s email skills improved and many agents thanked us for helping them feel more comfortable breaking bad news.

A group of associates at my firm were poor writers.  They were wordy, overly formal, and had a hard time getting to the point. This issue consistently came up as a discussion item in performance reviews.  I realized that writing skills were holding them back in their career development.

I brought in Elizabeth Danziger to coach my associates. She met with them regularly over a period of several months.  The sessions were a combination of lectures and coached editing of their own work.  In less than six months, all of the associates’ writing improved dramatically and has continued to get better since then.  Writing is no longer an “area for improvement” on performance evaluations and I no longer have to spend much time revising their work, freeing me up for higher-value tasks.  Best of all, the associates are now confident and proud about their writing skills.  Thank you, Liz!

It’s been a pleasure working with you the past several years. Your customization and delivery of the Technical Writing course have consistently received excellent evaluations from people who attended your class.

I attended Liz’s program at my former employer. When I changed jobs and we were looking for a great presenter on writing and email, I brought her to my new company. The training was as great as I remembered: lively, engaging, and fun. Everyone on my team loved it. They all took away valuable knowledge and skills that will help them work more effectively.

I attended Danziger’s CalCPA live class. The course was lively and informative; everyone enjoyed it. What’s most remarkable to me is that now, many years later, I still recall what Elizabeth Danziger taught me. Her message continues to improve my writing every day and I look forward to her Writamins.

Several years ago, my assistant and I attended Liz Danziger’s writing workshop. I noticed an immediate improvement in my assistant’s writing. What is most impressive is that now, years later my assistant still has the improved clarity, focus, and conciseness that she gained by attending Worktalk’s program.

I wasn’t sure what to expect, but the time passed quickly, and the class was very worthwhile. We laughed a lot and learned a lot.

Elizabeth has provided several business writing seminars for the staff and partners of our firm. Accountants are not always great writers, but Elizabeth was patient and helpful. She gave us practical, real-world guidance and empowered us to communicate better. Elizabeth’s in-depth knowledge of the English language, grammar and business writing protocol, combined with her engaging manner make her an excellent instructor.

Liz definitely helped me become a better writer. Since I began working with her, my writing has become clearer, more concise, and more readable. She helped me identify and overcome some negative writing habits. As an attorney, it is vital that I make my points concisely to judges, clients and other attorneys. Liz kept pressing me to reach higher levels of readability. I apply her advice every day and it has definitely made me a better attorney.

Improvement in our C-level executive’s writing has already been noticed and brought to my attention. The praise came from two very good sources, the CEO and the Chief Operating Officer. Our executive reports that he is enjoying working with you. Thanks so much for making such an impact so quickly.

Thank you so much for the education you gave my team on Thursday. It was exactly what I wanted to do for my staff. We needed that material to come from you, not me. My employees have to hear so often, and so much, from me about grammar and tone, that a fresh voice is required! When you present, it’s teaching. When I do it, it’s nagging.It was obvious that you took the time to think about our company culture, and how different it is. You understood, and then you customized the program for us.
I am so appreciative.
