Creative Writing Workshops and Courses for Corporate Clients actively working to enhance their Employees' Problem Solving Skills, Communication & Wellbeing.

The sessions on this page can be booked individually, or we can talk about creating combinations of as many of them as you would like.

I would love to chat about creating bespoke workshops or courses to meet your specific needs.

I HAVE EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE IN TEACHING & MENTORING.

Why are creative writing workshops important in enhancing team building skills, communication, problem solving and wellbeing?

Creativity increases Innovation

Creativity leads to coming up with new solutions to challenges and thinking outside the box thus giving your colleagues a competitive edge.

Creativity increases Empathy

Creativity can increase empathy by helping colleagues see things from different perspectives and thus benefit communication skills.

Creativity increases Confidence

Often we can feel that we are not creative - we are, we all are, we simply need to be given the tasks to enable us to feel this. Pushing ourselves out of our comfort zone is a fabulous confidence building tool.

Creativity increases Wellbeing

Creativity can have positive effects on mental and physical health, contributing to overall happiness and wellbeing.

These sessions will boost Staff Creativity & Wellbeing.

Each session can stand alone & can be booked

in any number of combinations.

CHARACTER

An introduction to the skills of creating credible characters (60 minutes)

Using tried and tested techniques, honed over my 20+ years teaching career, I will guide you on a journey of discovery into how to build credible characters.

We will work in small groups to develop and build characters who pop from the page and really come to life - with ease.

Through intuitive questioning, I will help you to see how to enhance storytelling skills through sound foundations in characterisation.

SETTING

An introduction to the skills of creating spectacular settings (60 minutes)

Using tried and tested techniques, honed over my 20+ years teaching career, I will guide you on a journey of discovery into how to build sensational settings.

Bringing in sensory writing will be an added benefit to enhancing wellbeing as it is a skill that is excellent for both creating sensational settings and as an aid to tackle anxiety.

STORYLINE

An introduction to the skills of creating strong storylines (60 minutes)

Using tried and tested techniques, honed over my 20+ years teaching career, I will guide you on a journey of discovery into how to build strong storylines.

From the shortest of stories and messages to more extended pieces, I will show you how to create storylines that are both confidently structured and memorable.

STORYTELLING

Build a short story in a day (2 x half day or 1 x full day session)

Over the course of the sessions we will explore the key skills involved in effective storytelling and will build a short story, individually or in teams, in a day.

The skills we will examine are: characterisation, setting, storyline, message, symbolism, genre and imagery.

These workshops can have a predetermined theme appropriate to your business aims or can have flexibility in thematic approach.

MYTHOLOGY

Using mythology in modern storytelling (2 x half day or 1 x full day session)

By examining the key stories from mythology we will establish how they can be brought into a modern setting whilst retaining their essential elements.

We will then explore how to build a fabulous story through the core pillars of character, setting and structure.

Finally, we will build our own stories in small groups using the skills learned in the first two parts of this intellectually stimulating, interesting workshop.

OPTIONS

There are many interesting options to explore if you're interested in a bespoke workshop, including but not limited to . . .

Poetry - haiku, sonnet, free verse, lyrics.

Drama - drama scripts, set design & stage craft.

Spoken word - bring your voice to life!

ENQUIRE NOW

"Suzanne is an excellent guide, very comfortable with people from all walks of life and able to manage group discussions very effectively.

She's great at encouraging people to share their ideas, very warm

and full of enthusiasm and positivity."

I’m Suzanne, founder of The Curious Wolf.

I developed a love for Creative, Reflective & Persuasive Writing during my 20 year teaching career where I specialised in teaching this art form to Advanced Higher students.

Leaving this career to develop new businesses led to a journey of self-discovery, positive psychology and mindset and this, combined with the urge to continue teaching and be immersed in the world of writing never left me and so, late in 2023, The Curious Wolf was born.

What drives me, is my passion for seeing the transformation in the people that I work with that an immersive and interactive workshop on Creative Writing or Writing for Wellbeing brings - the increase in confidence, the delight in their eyes when they realise the ability within and the progress that can be made in a short space of time.

In my down time I can often be found walking my two lurchers, Rudi & Pixie, or talking about them, or taking photos of them . . . .
