Workplace poetry workshops

Bring poetry into your workplace to build confidence, creativity and wellbeing.

Fun, informal 2hr workshops led by a published poet with 25+ years’ experience writing for brands, agencies and charities.

Discover how reading and writing poetry can help anyone in your organisation to communicate and express themselves more clearly.

    • Build confidence, creativity and workplace wellbeing

    • Write more like a human; stand out from the AI slop

    • Develop new, healthy, screen-free habits

    • Foster team spirit and trust between colleagues

  • I’ve worked as a copywriter and creative director for over 25 years, writing for some of the best-known brands and charities in the world. I’m also an award-winning poet, with work featured in literary magazines, on BBC radio and at Glastonbury Festival. My workshops combine a love of poetry with professional writing experience to offer tailored sessions around workplace wellbeing, professional confidence and team-building.

  • My workshops will help you discover how both reading and writing poetry can benefit workplace wellbeing. We’ll cover:

    • How to read poetry

    • Finding poetry you’ll love

    • Freeing up your creativity

    • Fun writing exercises

    • Standing out from AI and generic writing

    • Creating a group poem as a team

    Participants will also leave the session with several pieces of writing they can take away and shape into fully formed poems.

  • I can run workshops in your workplace or at a venue of your choosing. I supply worksheets and all necessary stationery. Sessions tend to be most productive towards the end of the day or just after work. Bringing laptops into the session is not recommended.

  • A standard 2hr workshop costs £650, and I can accommodate up to 12 team members at a time. Bigger groups are available on request but costs may vary. Discounts are available for charities and certified B Corps. For bookings and availability, email ed.copy@gmail.com
