Not like your typical "soft skill" course.

Hardens your writing skills to write like an elite professional.

If you've worked in finance, consulting, law, tech, etc. then you've probably sat through tons of corporate training — How to create a financial model? How to be a great public speaker? How to build your personal brand? How to manage a team?

But everyone always overlooks the single most important skill you flex each day at work... writing.

And writing isn't just a skill — it's your daily performance on public display. Power Writing teaches you the principles that'll ensure you write like an elite professional so your work gets recognised and you drive more outcomes.

Everything university taught you about writing was wrong.

Power Writing teaches you how to write in high-paced workplaces.

If you're like most professionals who spend 60-80% of their day writing emails, drafting memos & strategy papers or creating powerpoint presentations then investing some time and money in levelling up how you write for work seems like a no-brainer.

Especially given (a) how much your professional trajectory can change, and (b) that your work L&D budget should cover the cost (more here about this here).

What's in the course?

In our 3-lesson course, you'll learn frameworks for writing more powerful emails, effective long-form memos and killer powerpoints— and dig into the tangible techniques you and your team can apply daily with our Power Writing Principles ("PWP").

A 3-lesson course taught over 3.5 hours using real practical examples
Learn the 6 key Power Writing Principles that'll make you 10x more effective at writing for work
50+ before & after examples showing the power of the principles applied to emails, memos and presentations
Practical assignments where you can apply the course learnings in the real world
Personalised video feedback on your in-class and homework exercises (watch an example here)
PLUS a bonus lesson recording on how to write for maximum impact on LinkedIn
Good news: most companies will cover the cost of our course as part of the education or L&D budget. Here's how to get it reimbursed.

Here's what people have to say about Power Writing...

Ryan Rathborne
Clean Energy Finance Corporation

"I recommend Power Writing without hesitation. The content was highly relevant, straight to the point, and could be put it into immediate use. Funny too. A solid investment for anyone that needs their message to be heard in the war for attention."

Brodie C.
King & Wood Mallesons

"Power Writing is a game-changer.  Kal shares a simple system that will easily elevate your emails, memos and presentations. My work is clearer, more impactful, and action-focused.  If you want to sharpen your communication at work, try Power Writing."

Jasmine Hermiz
Clayton Utz

"Kal was great, I highly recommend this course to those in corporate/professional services - especially when you are starting out! I have recommended that my workplace implement this across the firm.
I am 1.5 years into full-time work and still benefited from it and I am already implementing the principles and skills learned in this course."

Richard Rouse
Sequoia Financial Group

"The Power Writing course was excellent! The content was highly actionable and I am applying principles every day to great effect."

Abigail Widjaja
Asialink Business

"I enjoyed the examples Kal went through which applied the principles (good & bad comparisons), and practical components (in-class and homework). I liked how Kal's presi's incorporated memes and humour to communicate points across, and the opportunities at the end to ask questions."

Francois Steyn
RSM Australia

"Provided a lightbulb moment on effective writing at work.

Really enjoyed the presentation and have asked our RSM learning team to consider this for firm wide training."

Kal

"This is the course I wish someone made me do when I started work.

I got all the training on how to build a model, format a presentation, public speaking, etc... but it wasn't until about 6yrs into my career that I realised I wasn't as effective as I could be when it came to my day-to-day writing.

Writing is the single most important skill you can have. I learned these lessons the hard way, so you don't have to."

Not your typical instructor.

Kal is an ex-Macquarie Capital banker who has started and sold multiple businesses — including Letter of Intent (an M&A publication loved for its writing style).

With a track record of building organizations, motivating teams, and making stuff happen, this course condenses 12+ years of learnings across banking, investing and media so you can be 10x more effective when writing at work.

What will I learn in the course?

Power Writing is a no-nonsense course that teaches you how to level up your writing to the next level. You'll learn how to drive more outcomes, faster and with greater impact.

1

Power Writing Principles ("PWP")

Become 10x better at writing for work just by applying the 6 Power Writing Principles.

The Power Writing Principles are a super simple, tried and tested approach that ensure you get your message across, clearly and quickly.

2

Write killer work emails

You spend your entire day sending and reading emails. And emails are most often the first impression you make on someone new (e.g., cold emails to clients).

We teach you the questions you should ask before you even start writing an email + how to structure & write your emails to stand out.

3

Write memos that get read

Long form documents become lasting, permanent artifacts of your work (e.g., strategy papers, blog posts, internal memos that will be read in years to come).

We teach you when to use memos and how to communicate with clarity and impact in long form writing.

4

Create compelling presentations

PowerPoint is where you can leverage visual cues to help communicate your ideas and thoughts. But too often they turn into boring slide shows of uninspiring charts and data.

We teach you how to write narratives for presentations so you can elevate your PowerPoint game.

Hey {manager},

There's a course called
Power Writing that I'd like to take. It's a live, online course with peers in similar roles to mine (e.g., professionals from companies like McKinsey, Mallesons, Goldman and Macquarie looking to level up their workplace communication.)

A few highlights:

  • Teaches you to 10x your writing for work (vs. what's typically taught in academic writing, which is all about big words and long essays)
  • Hands-on working sessions to learn new frameworks and writing hacks to say more, with less
  • Includes the latest thinking on written work comms in the modern workplace

This course will help me level up how I communicate efficiently and effectively. After the course, I can also share the learnings with the team so our entire team can improve.

The course costs $497 (vs. the usual $647).

What do you think?

Thanks,
{Your Name}
