Writing a Report: How to Prepare, Write and Present Effective Reports
IPS Journal This book has real value... Thoroughly commendable.
With this updated 7th edition, John Bowden offers a comprehensive and
practical guide to report writing. Among the topics featured are
preparation and planning, collecting and handling information, style,
grammar, and writing and revising a report.
If
there is a subject of really universal interest and utility, it is the
art of writing and speaking one's own language effectively. It is the
basis of culture, as we all know; but it is infinitely more than that:
it is the basis of business. No salesman can sell anything unless he
can explain the merits of his goods in effective English (among
our people), or can write an advertisement equally effective, or
present his ideas, and the facts, in a letter. Indeed, the way we talk,

The Jelly Effect: How to Make Your Communication Stick
How effective is the communication you experience every day? How
often have you been bored during a presentation? Failed to win a piece
of business that, deep down, you know you should have won? Had a
tedious, pointless networking conversation?
Countless times, no doubt. Too much information and not enough
relevance is a problem that pervades almost all business communication.
You see, the way many people communicate is like filling a bucket with
jelly, flinging it at their audience, and hoping some of it sticks.
It's ineffective, it's irritating and, above all, it's very messy.
So what's the answer? More relevance and a lot less jelly. The Jelly
Effect teaches you simple, memorable and costless ways to win more
attention and more business. Imagine how effective you'd be if you
communicated only what was relevant 100 percent of the time. You would
be better at talking to others, presenting, networking and selling. You
would excel in interviews, meetings and pay-rise discussions. The
benefits would be endless.
The Jelly Effect shows
you how to raise your game to a different level. You'll never fling
another bucket of jelly again...
