Want to know how to use a book to build your thought leadership and grow your expert brand?

In this episode, I had the pleasure of chatting with Verity Craft, a brilliant book coach and thought leadership expert from New Zealand. Verity and her team help big-thinking experts turn their ideas into strong, meaningful books. 

We discussed why writing a book is one of the best ways to build your thought leadership and how your ideas can make a bigger difference when they’re shared in the right way. 

Key Takeaways...

  • You’ve got to get your ideas out of your head.
    Start small if you have to, but start sharing.
  • Writing a book helps you sharpen your thinking.
    It forces you to get clear on your message.
  • Know exactly who you're writing for.
    The better you understand your audience, the easier it is to connect.
  • Your unique voice matters.
    Don’t copy others—be bold, be original.
  • Publishing is just the beginning.
    Keep using your book to grow your business and influence.

Tune in now and discover how your book can build your authority and become your #1 marketing tool.
