We are excited to continue with our Writing Club sessions as a part of Women Coding Community!
Join us in October for an engaging session where we are going to explore the Pyramid Principle - a powerful technique used by top professionals to communicate with clarity, efficiency, and impact. Whether you're crafting reports, emails, or presentations, this method helps you structure your writing in a way that delivers your main point first, followed by logical, well-organized supporting details.
In this session, we will:
- Unpack the Pyramid Principle: Learn how to build a top-down structure that enhances understanding and persuasiveness.
- Analyze examples: See the principle in action through real-world writing samples.
- Hands-on practice: Work together to apply the technique to your own writing, receiving feedback from peers.
This is a great opportunity to improve your writing skills and gain confidence in structuring arguments for maximum impact. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced writer, you'll leave with practical tools to elevate your communication.
Agenda:
- 19:00 - 19:10 - Welcome and Introduction to Women Coding Community
