Writing

Sheila Campbell began her career as an advertising copywriter, but migrated to the strategy and leadership areas of the business. She still writes often (she’s working on a book about walking across England alone) and teaches writing workshops.

Retreats That Work: Everything You Need to Know About Planning and Leading Great Offsites

In addition to teaching a business writing workshop, Writing for Impact, Sheila has co-authored, with Merianne and Jeff Liteman, the leading book on corporate and organizational retreats, Retreats That Work, published by John Wiley & Sons.

“Retreats That Work is the definitive resource for busy executives, experienced facilitators, and newcomers to the field who want retreats to help bring about significant and sustainable change in their organizations. The real-life examples, wise advise, and creative exercises in the easy-to-use guide make this a resource you will turn to again and again. If a client came to me and asked what to do to increase the likelihood of a successful retreat, I’d advise them to buy, read, and use this book,” says Mel Silberman, author of Training the Active Training Way and 101 Ways to Make Training Active.

Writing for Impact

Sheila teaches a one-day workshop for business writers. Participants learn to develop their own personalities in the written word, avoid common writing mistakes and present their ideas clearly and persuasively.
