Received this photo from a mate. The Growing With Gratitude book has a home at the Jakarta International Airport. A cool yet, surreal kind of feeling to have it available to travellers internationally. I also wanted to share what I've found to be some benefits of having a book published. Here's a reflection: Builds Credibility: A published book lends credibility not only to GWG as an organisation but also to the programs we run. Educators, parents, and schools leaders are more likely to trust and adopt programs backed by someone who has demonstrated their expertise through writing. Wider Reach: A book allows us to extend our reach beyond the schools we directly work with. It can be used as a resource in classrooms, libraries, and homes, helping to spread valuable strategies for wellbeing to a broader audience. Sustainable Impact: Unlike workshops that are time-bound, a book is a lasting resource that individuals can refer back to whenever they need. This ensures that the positive impact of the wellbeing programs can be sustained over time, with the book serving as a continuous source of support and guidance. Networking Opportunities: Publishing a book opens up new networking opportunities with professionals in education and related fields. It can lead to invitations to speak at conferences, participate in panels, and collaborate on projects, further enhancing the impact of the wellbeing programs we run. Personal Fulfilment: Writing a book is not just a professional milestone; it's also a deeply personal achievement. It allows us to share our passion for student wellbeing and mental health on a deeper level, providing a sense of fulfilment and accomplishment. #book #publishedauthor #schools #mentalwellbeing #mentalhealth #teachers #author
