As a Book Coach

“Publishing your first book gives you the confidence that you have something worth saying and that others will want to read it. Today, it’s no longer enough to have a title or role under your name on a business card. People want to know who you really are. They are deeply interested in what motivates you to do and what you do. Most of all, they need to know what you are an expert at to collaborate with you. A book will amplify you as a product for prospect and gets you into places you want to be. A book opens up new channels, joint ventures, and platforms. It represents a leader, a thought agent, an expert and an influencer. Everyone has a book inside them waiting to be unleashed. As a book coach, I will take you through a journey of self-discovery as you write your first book." - Karen Hoisington
