Optimist Writer offers training for:

• Writers and Self-Publishers
• Entrepreneurs and Managers
• S1000D Users, New and Advanced

 

Start and Finish That Book (For Writers)

Learn how to:

• Start without questioning yourself.
• Make progress on your project with (almost) no effort and independent of the time you have.
• Use moments of “writer’s block” as an indication of the way forward.
• Improve easily without striving for perfection.
• Finish with a feeling of joy, rather than regret.

Publish Your Story (For Self-Publishers)

Learn how to:

• Identify the best structure for your book.
• Write your book (if not written yet). Note: this topic will only be briefly touched upon in this course, since there is a separate detailed and comprehensive training course on how to successfully start and complete a book’s manuscript.
• Identify the self-publishing platform that makes most sense for your book project.
• Identify and request help from people as required to publish your book (a friend to give feedback and provide a few edits, a family member to double-check the facts in your memoir, a professional editor to improve style and grammar, a professional cover designer, and so on).
• Choose the simplest and most efficient (for you and your book) toolset for formatting and preparing your book for publication.
• Structure and format your book. Test repeatedly throughout the process.
• Publish your book.
• Spread news of your memoir or autobiography with your family and friends, or on a book about your business with your customers.

 

Take Control of Your Decision Making (For Entrepreneurs, Startups, and Managers)

Learn how to:

• Identify the lifecycle of your product or service.
• Define the framework for your products and services, both for a particular project and organization-wide.
• Use business rules (all decisions you make managed as a comprehensive system) to identify solutions for problematic areas in your projects and organization.
• Manage the decisions you make efficiently and effectively.
• Make sure that the decision-making approach you choose is promoting your business’s development and improvement, that it is neither too much nor too little.

Note: This is a general course on business rules and it is not connected to S1000D. For the S1000D business rules training course, see below.
