\"\"<\/p>\n

A little less than ten years ago, back in Brussels, my business partner Georges Yana and I developed a simple, yet very effective, methodology with the objective of helping organizations to align their face-to-face meetings with their strategy.<\/p>\n

After several years and many successful business cases, I told him: “Georges, we should write a book!”<\/p>\n

His answer was immediate: “Sure! Who is going to write it?”<\/p>\n

Needless to say that we kept adding great examples one after the other, but none of us had (or took) the time to write.<\/p>\n

Then I moved to the US and started Swantegy Miami with Vimari Roman. Last year, she made me commit to writing this book because she said: “Every time we speak with a client, and we identify their challenges, you always have an example to share. You should write a book!”<\/p>\n

On Sunday 12th June 2016, “Meeting at C-Level – An Executive’s Guide for Driving Strategy and Helping the Rest of Us Figure Out What the Boss Wants”<\/a> was officially launched – although already available on Amazon<\/a> \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

The entire process from writing a book to editing, cover designing, formatting, uploading, printing and launching was totally new to me, and I enjoyed getting out of my comfort zone and learning new things thanks to many different people.<\/p>\n

I can tell you: “It does take a village to write a book” … and it is just the beginning.<\/p>\n

Please download it, read it, offer it and if you feel so …write down a great review on Amazon.<\/a><\/p>\n

Thank you.<\/p>\n
