Creating a business book that truly makes an impact takes more than just writing. It requires a thoughtful strategy and having the right people in your corner. You don’t have to figure it all out alone.
That’s exactly why I built the Biz Book Pub Hub, a resource ecosystem with dozens of expert partners who help entrepreneurial authors turn big ideas into powerful books.
Whether you’re drafting your first chapter or preparing to launch, the Hub offers expert guidance on writing, editing, publishing, launching, and marketing strategies to help you achieve your goals. And our free networking events connect you with fellow authors and collaborators who understand the author journey.
If you’re ready to get the support you need, check out all of my author resources at www.BizBookPubHub.com.
Now, I’m excited to introduce today’s panelists:
Daria Rudnik wrote “CLICKING: A Team Building Strategy for Overloaded Leaders Who Want Stronger Team Trust, Better Results, and More Time,” your go-to guide for transforming a team that depends on you into one that thrives without you—offering a proven, people-first framework to reduce burnout, reclaim your time, and lead with lasting impact.
Rhodes Perry wrote “Imagine Belonging: Your Inclusive Leadership Guide to Building an Equitable Workplace,” which challenges leaders to go beyond diversity checklists and create workplaces where everyone feels like they belong—offering bold insights, real-world stories, and an actionable framework to transform exclusion into connection and culture into community.
Please join me in welcoming Daria and Rhodes.

In this episode, we discuss the following:
🟠 Define Who the Book Is For: How writing for overloaded leaders, organizational leaders, and people leaders shapes the content, examples, and outcomes
🟠 Build Trust Before You Talk Belonging: Why safety and trust are prerequisites, and how “belonging” is being used (and challenged) in a shifting DEI landscape
🟠 Use Community to Expand Reach: How summits and thought-leader collaborations can build trust, grow a list, and create ongoing visibility for the work
🟠 Treat Reviews as a Strategic Launch Step: Why a launch team and early reviews matter before driving traffic to an Amazon page, plus ways to think about outreach to professors and universities
🟠 Invest in the Right Support and Pace Yourself: The value of developmental editing, getting clear on strategy earlier, and using “FOCUS” to stay on track (Finish One Course Until Successful)
