Speaker Bio
Carla D. Bass is a retired Air Force colonel (30 years active duty) and author of the multiple award-winning book “Write to Influence!”
The ability to write powerfully was central to her success. Throughout her 45-year career 30 years in the Air Force and 15 with a federal agency), she composed products for Congress, the White House, generals, and ambassadors; hundreds of performance reviews; budget justifications; award nominations; and executive memoranda.
As a lieutenant colonel, Carla transformed her 480-person unit from the most losing in state-wide professional competitions into the one to beat. How? She developed her writing methodology and taught her troops to write. So successful was her program, she taught thousands of Air Force members for the next 15 years – to rave reviews.
She now teaches workshops to clients that include government agencies, corporations, private businesses, NGOs, and academia. The second edition of “Write to Influence!” incorporates material from her highly acclaimed workshops. From powerful writing to banish bureaucratic blather (for the workforce) to composing resumes, input for performance reviews, grant submissions, and essays for college applications … she covers it all.
Carla’s battle cries are twofold: “Powerful writing changes lives!” and “Powerful writing is the lifeblood of effective organizations!”
Her assignments included Hawaii; Washington, D.C.; Germany; Korea; Turkey; and Bulgaria, where she served as the defense and air attaché. To schedule a workshop and for more information, see https://www.WriteToInfluence.net//.
