I teach a unique writing class. What makes my class unique is that it focuses on the cathartic and ancillary benefits of writing. I’ve taken advantage of those benefits in numerous ways. A list of those benefits can be found in my book, How To Be Old. All for-profit, non-profit and government entities should be offering writing programs for their executives and employees—regardless of their position in the organization and/or their age.

Use my contact information or LinkedIn to find me so we can discuss how writing programs can benefit you and your workforce.
