Let's Talk About Brand Let's Talk About Branding with Books with Mindy Gibbins-Klein
Have you ever wanted to write a book?
This week’s episode has the goods on personal branding and book publishing.
If you've been considering writing a book as part of your overall personal brand strategy, what do you need to consider? Why would you do that? Why wouldn't you do that? How can you make sure that this book that you're going to put all sorts of time, energy, effort, and thought into, is actually going to be something that helps your career in the way that you want it to?
Mindy Gibbins-Klein, a.k.a. The Book Midwife, has helped hundreds of people get their books out of their heads and onto the page⏤and ideally, into the hands of people who can benefit from those books and from those ideas. Mindy is the author of "The Thoughtful Leader," and that title really sums up the various work that she does⏤not only in book coaching, but in leadership consulting as well.
