In our latest podcast episode, we explore the rewarding challenges of nonfiction writing and empowerment coaching with Barbara Boyd. Barbara, who lives on an olive farm in Italy, brings a unique perspective to her role as a seasoned book coach. She combines tough love with nurturing guidance to help writers, especially those focused on leadership, memoirs, and personal growth, transform their ideas into published works.

Barbara discusses her adept use of technology for remote coaching, allowing her to connect with clients globally. We also delve into her "Blueprint for a Book" tool, a structured method that guides writers from concept to publication. This process is particularly helpful for authors facing knowledge bias or writer's block, ensuring their narrative is aligned with both their goals and audience expectations.

She intuitively encourages clients to improve both the structure of their work and their writing style, gently and firmly nurturing writers until their goal is reached. Learn more about Barbara’s coaching at www.barbarajboyd.com.
