"Every single time I attend a BK retreat, the people who I spend time with there are the most open-minded and mind-opening and brilliant and curious and creative and intriguing people who I spend time with all year long. It is a feast for my brain, it's a feast for my soul."

[BKAuthors @BKAuthors]

@TheJoelTruth It all goes back to the timeless advice: "Your slides are not your presentation. YOU are your presentation!"

One common thread: The best leaders are those that make an intentional effort to be generous, to be inclusive, to understand diverse perspectives and experiences, and to support the people around them.

In our first Fresh Ink webinar this Tuesday, we had the privilege of hearing from Jane Hyun, Joe Davis, Jonathan Stutz, and Fatimah Gilliam about their recent or about-to-be-launched books by Berrett-Koehler Publishers.

If you attended, what was your key takeaway?

At the end of three days crammed full of marketing tactics, we got to step back yesterday and remind ourselves, "We write to make a difference. We speak to spread a message. We commit ourselves to a lifetime of sharing value with others, because that is who we choose to be."

Great presentation today by @robjolles!

One thing he taught us is that great presentations get creative. What can you do in your presentation to get people’s interest and break boredom? A story? A quote? An analogy? A visual aid? A prop? A small-group exercise? A roleplay?

"Be yourself. Everyone else is taken."

Yesterday at #BookPlan, @coreyperlman taught us, "My digital brand should be an authentic reflection of me"—along with several other mantras, principles, and best practices for authentic social media engagement.

Thank you, Corey!

You’re a writer, so you should write! The most successful authors understand that their ideas should be shared, and that one of the best ways to share them is through guest articles on platforms large and small.

Learn how at next week's panel at BookPlan. https://t.co/tz2u2bOlZN

When you show up online, are you the “Squawking Parrot” (ignored and annoying) or the “Wise Owl” (a trusted and valued resource)?

Learn how to be the Wise Owl at @coreyperlman's session at BookPlan 2024!

Although royalties are a great incentive, they will likely be minor compared to the revenue a business around your book can generate via workshops, consulting, coaching, etc.
