From faxes to email to AI, every new tool has made it easier to communicate more and faster. But what always matters is getting the people on the other end to understand and act. That’s why Dr. Jenny Morse, founder of Appendance, Inc., has launched a 2026 workshop series to help professionals craft clear messages that get results, with and without AI.
The series includes four 90-minute workshops that rotate throughout the year. Each session focuses on a communication challenge professionals deal with every day: writing messages people actually respond to, building sustainable writing habits, and working effectively with AI tools without losing clarity or credibility.
The next session, “Writing that works on humans: clear, concise, and actually nice,” will take place on April 16 at 10:30am MT, with additional sessions on August 19 and December 10.
Additional workshops in the 2026 series include
“How to get people to do what you want them to do (and leave you alone)” — May 15 and September 17
“Writing habits for professionals who have better things to do” — June 15 and October 23
“Treat the bot like an intern: writing with AI tools” — July 21 and November 9
Each session is designed for busy professionals who want practical strategies they can apply immediately to write faster, think more clearly, and get better outcomes from their communication.
Individual workshops are priced at $149 per person, or participants can purchase a full workshop pass for $495, providing access to all four sessions at a 20% discount. Members of the Fort Collins Chamber of Commerce receive an additional 10% discount with code FCCoC2026.
