Facilitated peer-group mentoring Mastermind groups for documentation managers and leaders

There’s an opportunity for a few more leaders of UK documentation teams to join the peer-group mentoring Mastermind group that we facilitate.

The quarterly face-to-face meetings have been running for a year now, with the group providing advice and assistance, under the Chatham House Rule, to fellow Documentation Managers seeking to resolve an issue they have been struggling with. It’s a process of learning and developing skills through the medium of shared experience: something from “real-life” and valuable to everyone in the meeting.

The next session will be free of charge, and will be held in Hammersmith, west London (date TBA – probably late May/early June). Other events have either been free of charge or at a notional charge to cover teas and coffees.

Contact us if this would be of interest to you.

Presentation: The future for technical writing – learning from other professions

Ellis Pratt, Sales and Marketing Director at Cherryleaf, has been invited to speak at the ISTC Cambridge area group’s meeting at 7pm on Monday 26th April. The presentation is called: “The future for technical writing – learning from other professions”.

We’ll look at what the future may hold for technical communicators, and whether we can learn lessons from similar professions, such as publishing and education. 

The event, we understand, is free and open to both ISTC and non-ISTC members alike. It will be held at CSR’s offices, on Cambridge Business Park. For more details, contact the ISTC or ourselves.
