This week I picked Write to Influence! by Carla D. Bass
• Write to win—Make every word count and every second of the reader’s time play to your advantage
• Write a resume that stands out … for the right reasons.
• Compose performance reviews—clear, powerful, compelling—for military and civilian organizations
• Persuade the reader—Identify and assemble those hard-hitting facts to make your case.
• Refine your presentation skills—Learn to develop and give a spot-on briefing
• Maximize your internet promotion—Leverage powerful words to do just that
• Craft professional email—Polished, succinct, and effective communication
• Improve business writing skills—Avoid the ten most common errors with this how-to guide “Write to Influence!” is light-hearted and conversational in tone, easy to read, and chock-full with practical advice. Bass’s unique insight into influential writing is based on her 30 year’s active duty in the Air Force, working with general officers, ambassadors, congressional delegations, and foreign dignitaries -- individuals for whom five minutes was significant. She wrote hundreds of personnel appraisals, award nominations, and other competitive packages; reports for executive-level signature; elevator speeches and executive memoranda much of which was sent to Congress.
