    The method the coach uses

    Verb + what + impact

    Coach Jun's SWI formula and Coach Tony's verb-context-metrics: start every phrase with a strong verb, say what you did, end on the result.

    Quantify everything

    Coach Art's rule. Count the people, hours, dollars and events. Give every ranking its field size: "3rd of 2,000".

    Phrases, not sentences

    No "I", no "was responsible for". Periods between phrases, the same style in every entry. ~ + & and numerals save characters.

    What you did, not what the org does

    Readers don't need the organization's mission statement. Put your role, your actions and your results in the space.

    One entry, many years

    Show growth inside one entry: "President 11-12. VP 10. Member 9." Don't list the same club twice.

    Proof here, why in the PIQs

    The blurb proves what you did. Save the reflection for your Personal Insight Questions, the "whats vs whys" split.
