Unique ‘live’ coaching writing retreat

Research requires writing and whether you love or hate writing creating a regular habit of writing as a researcher is a challenge for anyone! It’s rare to feel you’ve done enough writing and frustration can soon lead to anxiety and a sense that “I’m not good enough”.
WriteHere, RightNow offers a unique format that brings together the space of a writing retreat with the provocation of live coaching to enhance and sustain an effective writing experience. The basis of these retreats emerged from coaching researchers to take a step back, realign with the purpose of their writing and engage in strategies to bring writing back into the heart of their work. The retreat provides a powerful format to get writing done, harnessing the collective energy of the group, while the live coaching invites greater awareness of how to shape the writing experience. By bringing a focus on maximising the potential of the writing, and learning to creatively manage interferences, performance becomes the outcome of an effective practice rather than a hindrance.
This unique combination of retreat and live coaching means that, while working on a current piece of writing, participants also engage in a series of coaching-based experiments. These experiments are designed to embed motivation, instill confidence and generate productive writing habits beyond the retreat itself. The retreat combines the power and wisdom of group learning, individual provocation and writing practice.
This workshop is aimed at health and care academic researchers at any level who wish to develop their writing skills.
