Writing and Publishing the Book That's Inside You
13
8:00 PM - 9:00 PM
What does it really take for Executives to go from idea... to published author?
For years, the book felt like something you'd get to "someday" — a dream sitting quietly on the back burner while the demands of leadership kept it there. But for many executive women, that someday is starting to feel more urgent than ever.
Now, more leaders are recognizing that their story, their framework, their hard-won expertise deserves to exist beyond the boardroom — not just as a legacy, but as a platform, a business tool, and a way of shaping their industry on their own terms.
In this conversation, we'll explore:
- What finally pushes executives to stop talking about the book and start writing it
- How writing a book can unlock the doors you want to be knocking on
- How to find, shape, and articulate the idea that only you are positioned to write
- What the publishing landscape actually looks like today — traditional, hybrid, and self-publishing
- How a book opens doors that a resume, a LinkedIn profile, and even a keynote simply can't
