I am so excited to introduce everyone to Colonel Carla Bass. Carla is the force behind "Write With Influence." I met her earlier this year during an event hosted by the AKC Legislative Conference. The AKC Legislative Governmental Group brought her in to teach the legislative liaisons how to write more effectively to communicate better with local and national legislators. You are probably asking yourself, "What does this have to do with pets?"  What Carla teaches will help us communicate better with our breeders, handlers, veterinarians, and even the other people in our lives.  Dean Koontz Quotes: “Once you have had a wonderful dog, a life without one, is a life diminished.”― , A Big Little Life: A Memoir of a Joyful Dog "The opportunity to love a dog and to treat it with kindness is an opportunity for a lost and selfish heart to be redeemed. They are powerless and innocent, and it is how we treat the humblest among us that surely determines the fate of our souls." "Petting, scratching, and cuddling a dog could be as soothing to the mind and heart as deep meditation and almost as good for the soul as prayer." ========================== Carla empowers others to achieve their goals through persuasive writing.  She is an award-winning author, speaker, coach, and adjunct university instructor.  Her course, "Catapult Your Career--Write to Influence!" is available on Teachable. com!To contact Carla:  Carla@WriteToInfluence.net Resources mentioned during the call: Carla Bass -- Write To Influence (Book) https://www.amazon.com/Write-Influence-Appraisals-Scholarships-Internships/dp/0997593024/ From Carla's Blog: https://writetoinfluence.net/articles-and-writing-tips/frame-a-winning-argument/ https://writetoinfluence.net/articles-and-writing-tips/want-to-win-an-argument-strategize-it/ The Third Side - Why We Fight and How We Can Stop -- Willian Ury  https://www.amazon.com/Third-Side-Why-Fight-Stop/dp/0140296344/ Myers-Briggs Framework -- https://www.myersbriggs.org/my-mbti-personality-type/myers-briggs-overview/
