It's been a rather busy, sometimes stressful couple of months getting the rewrites done both on my book 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀: 𝗔 𝗚𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 and my website. But they're both now done and ready for viewing (website) and/or purchasing (book). Someday I'm going to pen a story on why it took me so long to get this all going again but first things first....
I am really happy with the changes I made to the book from the slight cover change to give it a little "pop" of color to the new and expanded information to some of the chapters as well as the website redo itself.
You can go to Amazon and check out the book if you'd like -- but you can also get to the book directly from my website at https://www.maryjowiseman.net/. You see, my 𝐇𝐨𝐦𝐞 page was designed to tell you up front who I am, what it is I do or am selling, the benefits to you the buyer -- and what you need to do to find it/learn about it/hopefully buy it. (I heard this was a very important step in creating a website from people who know.)
On the 𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 page you'll learn a little more about me, my thoughts on what a meeting planner is and the benefits planners bring to an organization and to the planning process, who will benefit from reading the book and why.
And then there's the 𝐓𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐚𝐥 page. It continues to make me proud every time I read through the testimonials (reviews) to hear what people have said about the book and the person behind the book.
Finally, I have to say if/when you do go to Amazon, do definitely check out the "Read Sample" on the print version of the book. It reads well and the Table of Contents shows all the chapters so you can easily see what's covered on the inside.
Take care. Be well. Share this post and information about the book with anyone you think could benefit from reading it.
