Prolific writers: Brian Carle and Scott Sheppard

Stay WholeLucy,

On Make it a Great Monday, I shared How to write a compelling white paper, sub-message: How we plan to turn our incubation proposal (fairly complex subject) into something easy-to-understand. The writing tips came from my buddy Brian Carle, Senior Director of Strategic Alliances at Salient. (Photo above on the left.)

My talented colleague and technology futurist, Scott Sheppard took the time to provide some great feedback on how he has managed to post over 4000 blog articles! You can see his feedback here in the comments. Really good stuff, so take the time to read. 

My favorite bit of guidance was this:

To get a project adopted by upper management, your proposal needs a one-sentence version, a one-paragraph version, a one-page version, and the full project proposal. That way, a project can be pitched in any context.

Stay whole,

Dad

NUGGETS began in the fall of 2010 when our oldest daughter left for college. (Make it a Great Monday; Stay Whole Tuesday; Woman Power Wednesday; Make Anything Thursday; and Fit as a Fiddle Friday.) All these years later, we have a UGA grad, a SCAD grad, a Fightin’ Texas Aggie grad, and 1500 nuggets. Plus, Mum and Dad up and moved to England. Those are my daughters above, and their guiding light – truly my every gPage Singletary thing.

Dear Harvey: Staying in the Game

In the end, Harvey, you left us your Little Red Book—a lifetime of lessons condensed into something small enough to fit in a pocket, yet broad enough to guide generations. These letters are my attempt, in a much humbler way, to do the same—to gather what the game has taught me so far, and to keep discovering what lies at the edges.
