SCHULTZ GROUP, INC.
PROFESSIONAL WORKSHOPS FOR WRITING, READING,
COMMUNICATION & CREATIVE PROBLEM-SOLVING
Ineffective writing and reading—ineffective communication in general—costs an organization time and money. Compounding this is the difficulty of effectively and efficiently training your people to build their writing, reading and overall communication skills.
Schultz Group, Inc. Professional Workshops solve this problem for your organization, using the innovative and prove Story Workshop approach to writing, communication and creative problem-solving to do it.
SGI Professional Workshops train people and organizations to communicate more effectively. This includes development of written and spoken communication skills as well as analytical reading skills. With improved communication, organizations become more efficient internally and more viable to their clients and the general public.
A certified Story Workshop Director guides employees through active written, oral and reading exercises that hone their sensitivity to language and how that language and the way it's organized communicates its message to an audience. As employees develop these skills, they also strengthen their natural creative problem-solving capacities in powerful ways. Highly developed creative problem-solving skills make the people in an organization more versatile and resilient, and keep their ideas fresh. This means an organization as a whole is more flexible, more efficient, and more effective.
The approach fundamentally demonstrates that the movement of story is the basic structure for organization of information and the communication of that information. Participants simultaneously develop a keen awareness of audience, the ability to mentally see the information they need to communicate, and the natural authority and clarity of their individual voice to convey that information. With consistent guidance and feedback from a certified Story Workshop Director, employs learn to use the coordinated application of these fundamentals to actively search for and discover the most effective form and content for any written or oral communication.
Formats are flexible, depending on the organization's specific needs. The best results come with consistent workshops of variable duration.

"At Ernst & Young's Accelerated Solutions Environment, I help take clients like Wal-Mart, FedEx and AT&T out of their familiar frames of reference to design and test new business models. To do this, I need to imagine and understand the client’s world under tight timeframes. I draw extensively upon the seeing-in-the-mind capacity developed through my Story Workshop training to project the limited information at my disposal into complex models of reality that I can visualize, explore and manipulate. This enables me to discover the approach that will trigger the client's best work."
—Bill Burck, Ernst & Young
