5 Authors. 5 Minutes. 5 Game-Changing Lessons!

Join us LIVE on Zoom on Thursday, March 12th at 1:00pm Eastern Time.

As part of The Go-GiverĀ® Success Vault we hold quarterly Live Events on Zoom where our members can ask me anything. Though there is so much talent in this group it ends up being more of a discussion where we strategize, mastermind, and share lots of terrific business ideas together.

It happens that a number of our members are authors. And their books are fantastic!

So, Kathy Tagenel and I had an idea: What if we were to ask 5 of our member-authors to each share 5 minutes of wisdom. And then we opened it up for 5 minutes of Q&A.

They agreed!

And...

The Go-GiverĀ® Spotlight Series — 5 Authors. 5 Minutes. 5 Lessons…LIVE!

…was born.

Only instead of just our members attending, with their agreement we’re opening this up to the public (that's you). šŸ™‚

The date will be Thursday, March 12th at 1:00pm Eastern Time.

Our Star Presenters Will Be:

John Ray: His book The Generosity Mindset is perhaps the best I’ve ever read on charging what you are worth and receiving it. Clients see more value in your work than you do, and learning to name and price that hidden value changes everything.

Val Roskens Tews: Her wonderful new book is The Butterfly Strategy, a heart-centered guide that helps you build an online community of business friends, collaborators, and clients. No tricks or gimmicks! Build powerfully and authentically!

Donn King Author of the Sparklight Chronicles parable series and others, he’ll provide a look at how creative people can continue meaningful work despite real-life constraints that would otherwise cause overwhelm and inaction. Very inspiring!

Dave Moravek: Author of the ā€œEchoesā€ series, his parables are filled with business wisdom featuring seasoned sales mentor ā€œCharlie.ā€ He shares how when you are truly present, unexpected connections can happen anywhere, you just have to be open.

Angelique Unfred Liles: In her terrific new book, Stick Figure Leadership, she brilliantly helps today's leader cut through the usual complexity and bring leadership back to what truly matters: people, purpose, and practical action. A must read/study

If I may say…this is going to be one AWESOME event!

One of my favorite questions I have been asked since publishing my book, ā€œStick Figure Leadership: Turning Complex Concepts Into Actionable Leadership,ā€ is:

ā€œDo you still have your original stick figures?ā€

Oh yes. Yes, I do. I still use them in my Leadership Workshops šŸ˜„

I talk about where the idea for my stick figures came from as well as my challenge of being a horrible artist in my book; but I thought it would be fun to show the ā€œbeforeā€ and ā€œafter.ā€

My original stick figures are pretty bad! . Uneven sizes. Arrows that don’t quite line up. Stick figures that look like potato heads instead of people. 🫣

The printed versions in the book?
Cleaner. More polished. Balanced. Intentional.

Regardless of which version you see, the message is still the same.

Every idea starts a little messy.

Sometimes leadership does too.

Anyone else have a ā€œfirst draftā€ version of something you’re proud of now?
