As a full-service agency, we support authors and thought leaders at every step of their online influence-building and book marketing and public relations journey—and we work to ensure that long after launch, there is sustained interest and sales. Since founding Weaving Influence, I’ve worked with my team to launch over 200 books, including a Wall Street Journal Bestseller. I’m proud to have built a company based on core values that continually prioritize our clients and team members: · Excellent execution· Inclusive community· Respectful collaboration· Intentional growth· Unwavering integrity· Valuable contribution My proudest achievement as a business owner is gaining the trust and respect of our past and current clients who regularly refer other clients our way. Using my decade plus of experience, I wrote "Reach: Create the Biggest Possible Audience for your Message, Book or Cause" (Berrett-Koehler Publishers, April 2022). Within its pages, I share a practical framework and the four commitments required to create reach for your message, book, or cause: value, consistency, generosity, and longevity. My hope is that Reach will be your helpful companion as you seek to make a difference with your life and work. I’m an experienced speaker and presenter, facilitating events both online and in person.
