The training exceeded my expectations

I contracted Dawn to help my team of scientists and engineers improve their report and paper writing skills as part of a short, focused training effort. The training exceeded my expectations by focusing on higher-level writing challenges. The result was a fully engaged team and a useful guide/checklist that we used moving forward. It has been more than 5 years since the training and I still find myself using tips from the course to evaluate and improve my writing. Great value!

Dawn is an absolute pleasure to work with

She has been able to seamlessly convert and summarise our Centre’s academic research papers into two pagers that are beautifully designed and are in an easy-to-read, business language format. Not only is Dawn a true professional but she is one of the kindest people you will meet. She is now our go-to person for translating research papers. We highly recommend her services!

Gifted writer. Natural teacher. Mentor. These words describe Dawn Henwood.

For over a decade, Dawn and I worked together on a variety of publisher education resources – business communication and employability skills textbooks for undergraduates and high school students. I work with many author-educators and Dawn is one of the best (actually, she is the best…don’t tell the others).

Developing engaging education materials that resonate with the age group is a challenge. Dawn’s teaching background serves her well for this kind of work; she understands what students need to learn and how to disseminate information using clear, concise, engaging prose. Infusing her writing with creative pedagogical features and relatable examples, the resources inspire and delight. Reading Dawn’s material is so enjoyable that I suspect many students may not realize that they are learning.

Always positive about assignments, Dawn’s enthusiasm for the subject matter and writing is infectious for the team. She finds the fun in her work. Interacting with Dawn during the development process is a pleasure. When development schedules go awry, Dawn remains calm and delivers. Every project goes smoothly. Dawn is a terrific mentor. I follow Dawn’s social media posts and blog with keen interest. My writing and communication skills improve by employing the strategies in her posts.

We were fortunate to work with Dawn

We were fortunate to work with Dawn to develop a CBCL Limited customized technical writing course. She took time to understand our needs and develop a full-day workshop for our staff. The mix of discussion and in class exercises were well received. The feedback from the participants was positive and included statements such as: “engaging speaker”, “relevant material”, “easy tips to improve my writing."

Dawn is a writing mentor who leverages her background as a professor to provide detailed, structured feedback.

Dawn is a writing mentor who leverages her background as a professor to provide detailed, structured feedback. I had expected her feedback to be general points about strengths and weaknesses. Instead, Dawn went above and beyond to provide a scorecard and piece-by-piece comments on my writing. That level of objective feedback helped me overcome blind spots that I wouldn’t have caught otherwise.
