Speaking and books go hand in hand. Many authors are public speakers and many speakers have written books.

What does it look like to take your thought leadership message and turn it into both a signature talk and a published book?

That’s what we dig into with my guest and Thought Leader Academy grad Cara Houser.

Cara recently published her best-selling book “Burned Out to Lit Up: Ditch the Grind and Reclaim Your Life” (I highly recommend it!).

Cara and I talk about:

  • Why she decided this was the topic for her thought leadership
  • My perspective on why her book on burnout is different from others
  • Cara’s thought leadership journey to refine her message
  • Her writing process

     

  • Building a book launch team and marketing the book to make it a bestseller

If you’ve been wanting to write a book or you know that having a book is in your future, this episode is for you!
