Instead, success is drawn to those who are diligent and willing to be mentored by others.

This is Book 2 of my Speaking and Writing series, and a companion to: It\'s Called Presenting, Not Talking Out Loud. A Quick, Strategic Guide for Effective Presentations. Business writing is different than almost every other type of writing for one main reason: Business writing is about results, ultimately.In other words, where other types of writing may take you on a journey of some kind...some wonderful, mystical journey, business writing doesn\'t have much appetite for the journey.We believe in the destination. Give us the destination and if we want to know any parts of the journey, we will ask.It really does boil down to the above. Business professionals and executives are too busy to bother with details (at least at first). They need the bottom-line deliverables presented UPFRONT. This book will give you the keys, without unnecessary theory, on the following: GETTING TO YOUR POINT FASTER, PERSUASIVE WRITING VS. FYI WRITING, BUSINESS PROPOSALS, THE RIGHT WAY TO DO EXECUTIVE SUMMARIES, THE ONE-PAGER, DECKS VS. REPORTS, GRAPHS, TABLES, CHARTS - AND OTHER POWERFUL VISUALS, THE BETTER WAY TO WRITING BUSINESS EMAILS, AND MORE... Research is all about writing, but most PhD programs don\'t teach students how to produce the writing needed to get a PhD, publish research, or win fellowships and grants. Plus, the academic environment can feel as cold and harsh as the South Pole. But just as penguins form social huddles to survive the Antarctic winter, researchers can form writing groups to help them learn how to write more, write better and be happier in academia. The Writing Workshop tells you everything you need to know about forming and running a successful writing group, and provides invaluable tips on how to become better at and more comfortable with academic writing. Written by a professor of Cognitive Sciences at the University of California, this friendly guide is aimed at early-career researchers such as PhD students, postdoctoral scholars and new faculty members. Chapter topics include: How to form and run a writing workshop how to plan research and writing projects over the long (one to five years), medium (ten to fifteen weeks), and short (one week) terms how to establish and maintain a regular daily(ish) writing practice how to write a literature review, research article, funding proposal or presentation and how to revise for clarity at the document, paragraph, sentence and word levels. There are templates to help students set writing goals and log their writing practice, plus in-class exercises to help writers learn to hear the difference between effective and ineffective writing. Running through the book is the theme of well-being, and the idea that creativity comes from self-compassion rather than self-punishment. Writing is not only a way of producing scholarly output, but also a way of thinking, learning and generating new ideas. A regular writing practice grounded in a supportive community is something that every early-career scholar deserves and, with this book, it\'s something every early-career scholar can have. Writing Program Administration. Series Editors: Susan H. McLeod and Margot Soven ECOLOGIES OF WRITING PROGRAMS: PROGRAM PROFILES IN CONTEXT contributes to our understanding of writing programs as complex ecological systems. The collection includes profiles of fifteen exemplary and innovative writing programs in their fluid, dynamic, and relational contexts, highlighting the ways in which writing programs-like all discursive systems-are ecologies. By examining writing programs as they exist within the context of interrelated, emergent institutional systems that are in constant flux, this collection complements broader perspectives on the history, theory, and practices of writing program administration, shifting the focus to how research and theory within the field of rhetoric and composition get enacted in particular programs and how histories and practices are enabled and constrained by particular institutional locations, contexts, and exigencies. With a focus on the constraints and challenges of developing writing programs, ECOLOGIES OF WRITING PROGRAMS also extends important critical discussions of the working conditions of WPAs, highlighting material and managerial matters, along with the conflicting cultural and institutional issues that shape and are shaped by WPA work. The organization of each section highlights these complex and dynamic interrelationships, reflecting how writing programs are located in their institutional sites (from first-year composition to writing across the curriculum and writing in the disciplines to undergraduate majors in rhetoric and composition) how the activities of writing program administrators carve out new spaces for collaborative relationships and interactions and how WPAs reposition programs and are themselves repositioned as they explore new sites for writing program administration.
