LIVE HUB 429 Panel Enneking Ware Thompson

Publishing a book isn’t just about selling copies; it’s about opening doors. The moment your book hits the world, it becomes a beacon, drawing opportunities you might never have considered.

Many authors find that beyond book sales, their work leads to speaking engagements, networking breakthroughs, consulting roles, and other unexpected ways to grow their influence. Your book can position you as an expert, a thought leader, and a sought-after voice in your industry—all while building meaningful connections with those you can impact most.

But you need to be ready to seize these opportunities. It’s why I work with authors to develop strategies for maximizing the impact of their books—so every opportunity is met with intention and purpose.

Want to talk more about how your book can open doors? Visit www.BookLaunchBrainstorm.com to schedule a free 30-minute book launch brainstorming session.

Now, before today’s exciting panel discussion, let’s hear a quick word from our sponsor.

With me today are authors whose books have taken them to unexpected heights. Let’s hear their stories.

Carole Enneking (anyking) wrote “The Rebalancing Act: Wisdom from Working Women For Success that Matters.” This book explores the challenges working women face in trying to “have it all,” offering insights and strategies based on interviews with over seventy women to help restore balance, health, and fulfillment in both personal and professional life.

Gary Ware, author of “Playful Rebellion: Maximize Workplace Success Through The Power of Play.” He offers a refreshing approach to work and life by teaching readers how to reignite their playful spirit, boost creativity, and improve productivity through play, while creating deeper connections and joy in everyday situations.

John Thompson wrote “Stack Your Deck: How to Be an ACE in Business & Life.” He provides a powerful blueprint for achieving success by cultivating the right mindset, building meaningful connections, embracing empowerment, and overcoming life’s challenges to create a purposeful, fulfilling life.

Please join me in welcoming Carol, Gary, and John.
