Unleash Your Creativity to Increase Your Visibility with Azul Terronez - 310

What should come first, your book or your talk?

That’s one of the questions I posed to Azul Terronez, book coach to some of the best known thought leaders around. 

Azul is a Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author and book coach who specializes in helping leaders write and publish books that elevate their brand. As the CEO of the six-figure company Authors Who Lead, he has enabled Wall Street CEOs and health and wellness gurus to sell tens of thousands of books. When he’s not hosting his podcast, Authors Who Lead, he’s working as a creativity coach with CEOs and Emmy Award-winning producers to build their confidence, improve their productivity and increase their visibility within their companies.

Prior to starting a career in coaching, Azul spent over two decades as a teacher, a principal and a founding faculty member of High Tech High Graduate School of Education. He has been a keynote speaker at international conferences and his TEDx talk, “What Makes a Good Teacher Great”, has been viewed over 4.1 million times. Azul has appeared on Smart Passive Income, The Will To Change, Addicted2Success and The Good Men Project.
