Writing for Alignment.

What’s in it for them? In a noisy world, your writing needs to land what really matters to people. Fast.

Learn to connect the dots between your message, company strategies, and communications to other stakeholders, so what you write makes an impact.

As disciplines and industries merge, many leaders and teams are struggling with what to write, and how to get everything and everyone working in-sync.

Can you relate? My Writing for Alignment course will help.

In this in-house program, I will teach your team my strategic writing system, so your words captivate people, motivate action, and tell a cohesive story—no matter your goal, audience, or channel.

Put an end to ambiguous messages and a fragmented brand experience. Master how to craft and align compelling communications so their impact is greater than the sum of parts.

I love uplifting others and sharing what I’ve learned.

Megan Sheerin.

I am a global trainer, strategy consultant, and writer.

I help ambitious companies grow by aligning what they create—and what they communicate.

The world is interconnected. Yet conventional writing programs still focus on separate audiences or rigid specialities.

I offer a modern alternative.

Over 25 years, I’ve built my writing muscle crafting content ranging from employee communications and consumer ads, to investor decks, business pitches, digital campaigns and press releases.


My work has been published by CBS, Forbes and The HuffPost.

Hundreds of people have participated in my public workshops and in-house training courses for Goldman Sachs, Million Dollar Women, Bayer, Optus, Ogilvy, the Australian Government, AMP Bank, and many more.

Here’s what they say.

FAQs.

  • Absolutely. My Writing for Alignment course can be tailored to a team focused on a single product, brand or audience—or designed to coordinate cross-functional team members and leaders who engage with multiple products or brands, employees, customers, investors, and the media. Your people will learn to turn ambiguous ideas into crisp messages that resonate with their audience, and how to align those with the work of their co-workers and external partners, so your audience experience and brand(s) are cohesive across your communications ecosystem.

  • Writing for Alignment is available as an in-person course—delivered on-site at your offices or other suitable venue—as well as a virtual intensive. We’ll discuss your objectives and expectations in our initial consultation call, and agree the best format, course length, and topics to include to deliver an exhilarating experience. Larger or cross-functional groups usually find a one or two-day live workshop most valuable. I am available to travel to deliver in-person training outside Auckland, New Zealand, where I’m currently based.

    In every case, your team can expect personalized feedback from me, energizing group discussions, and the opportunity to apply their new skills to the writing they do at work every day.

  • Please email my team to arrange a consultation call with me.

    We’ll discuss your needs, participants, timeline, biggest challenges, and opportunities—and how I will tailor my Writing for Alignment training to deliver your desired outcomes.
