Why hire a writing coach?
"I know it's a technical world, yet there are still many situations where selecting the right words to express yourself will make a huge difference! It isn't always easy to figure out what to write or say, even (or especially?) when it really matters. I learned this truth, many years ago. I stood in front of a row of greeting cards and watched people with pained expressions searching for the elusive "just right" card. It was, after all, early evening on Valentine's Day in the picked over card section at Safeway; desperation was to be expected.
The young man next to me looked at me in shock when I suggested getting a blank card. "But, then I would actually have to write something," he replied in obvious horror. I realized then that the blank card or sheet or screen does not represent freedom to everyone. People sometimes need a little help or risk being stuck with inauthentic, Hallmark controlled expressions of their most important emotions. A writing coach can give that gentle push from ordinary to extraordinary. "
