Renita Parker was a trainer for a Tasty Tummy multinational company, in FMCG business. She worked brilliantly with the executives on their writing and helped them to feel more confident about it. Renita worked with top executives as well as the shop floor level. She realized that teaching the shop floor employees was her call and she wanted to work more with them. Renita was paid quite high as majorly she was dealing with the top executives.

Renita met Mark, her supervisor and explained to him that she wanted to be associated in teaching and training the shop floor employees because many of them could not write anything other their names.
