🚀 It’s Here! The Meeting Room Is Now Live on Amazon!📘✨

Published 9 months ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader,

I’m thrilled to share some big news with you today…my new leadership book, The Meeting Room, is officially LIVE on Amazon!

This book has been years in the making. It’s a leadership fable about a brand-new team lead trying to navigate messy meetings, strong personalities, and the pressure to “get it right” when everything feels overwhelming.

Inside the story, I teach the same tools I’ve used with leaders for years—simple, practical meeting strategies and what I call “Rebecca’s Rules” — to help teams move from chaos to clarity.

If you’ve ever sat in a meeting and thought: There has GOT to be a better way…”—this book will speak to you.

How you can support the launch:

👉 Order your copy today (print or Kindle)
👉 Add it to your weekend reading stack
👉 Forward this email to someone who leads meetings or teams

Here’s the Amazon link: https://a.co/d/1QpVuFi

And if you pick up the Kindle version and read a bit this weekend, leaving a review would help the book reach more readers who need these tools.

Thank you for being part of my community.

I can’t wait for you to meet Joan and step inside The Meeting Room.

With excitement,

This is not my first failed lavender. It is not my second. I keep planting it, it keeps dying, and every single time I have asked myself the same question. What am I...

So... it's been a minute.

It's been a minute. January, actually. That's the last time I showed up in your inbox, and I want to be straight with you about that. I didn't disappear because I lost interest or ran out of things to say. The opposite happened. The last few months have been full of activity, and I let this slip while I was in the middle of all of it. Here's the short version of where I've been: I presented at the ISPI conference in Nashville in April. People came up afterward telling me how what I said about...

Let's Have Some Fun: Which Meeting Personality Are You?

Hi Reader, Let’s try something. After my book The Meeting Room began circulating, readers kept telling me the same thing: They recognized themselves in the characters. The person quietly tracking the real conversation while others were talking. The leader trying to keep the room moving. The one who asks the question everyone else is avoiding. The person trying to keep the room calm. Every person in a meeting plays a role. It's not about "good" versus "bad." Just patterns in how people show up...
