Book Coaching

The following are areas I help those who want to author a book secure:

1. A winning title. It's not as easy as you think. I spend time doing research on up to 100 of the top books in your subject matter area and help you create a winning title that helps sell more books faster.
2. An agent. If you already have a platform I help you secure an agent.
3. A strong proposal to locate an agent.
4. A winning outline. Any great ghostwriter will tell you that if you have a winning outline they can create the best book possible. I have been teaching outlining workshops for seven years and will share with you all the nuances of a winning outline.
5. A great book. Once we create the outline I can share with you how to write your non-fiction book so that it is rich with engaging stories that teach, groundbreaking facts that separate you from others in your field and a process that helps your readers remember what you are sharing in your book. In other words I will show you how to create what is called an "evergreen book" that will impact others for years.
6. A solid and successful book marketing campaign. I have spent over $100,000 in the last two years learning every best marketing strategy out in the world. I'll share these with you so you can benefit from my investment and insights.

Diamond Bank recently had the pleasure of working with Melissa on a Networlding event hosted by the IL Chamber of Commerce. Melissa’s expertise and innovation in strategic networking and relationship marketing made this event unlike any other we have sponsored. Business owners and leaders throughout the community came together for this highly-interactive session and walked away with a renewed enthusiasm for their business. We truly value our relationship with Melissa and highly recommend The Networlding Partner Alliance to anyone looking to reach new heights in their business. On a personal note, I thank Melissa for becoming a mentor and friend.

The very survival of the free enterprise system will depend upon the degree and content of our ability to communicate effectively and the way we have interacted, has become diminished. In addition, many of the new trends have rendered themselves obsolete even before they establish due to redundancy and media dilution. Many people have stepped forward purporting to be progenators of the new social and general media revolution but the one that makes most sense, is Ms. Giovagnoli's theory and practicum of Networlding. Especially now, technologies will come and go but the precis' on how to deliver these various and sundry technologies to the globe, is what makes it all possible. I urge everyone reading this recommendation to study Ms. Giovagnoli's principles of Networlding as a true basis and foundation upon which to layer communications technologies. She provides real light in a world darkened by the blur of redundant technologies.

Melissa is a visionary thought-leader who possesses an incredible ability to bring out the best in people. Her ability to coach and guide executives and business owners to crystallize their focus and make prudent timely decisions is noteworthy. It has been a privilege to work with Melissa. As the Networlding GURU, she has taught me how to explore new vistas beyond the traditional networking system to accomplish more with a greater ROI. Her e-learning program and market support system is a one-stop shop. She is a wonderful mentor, coach, and thought-provoking leader. I have truly been blessed through our association. I highly recommend Melissa. She is absolutely the best.

I have had the extreme pleasure working with Melissa during one of our case-based training simulations. She worked with one of the simulation teams as a Communication Coach, following them throughout the week and providing feedback on their communication, presentation, and leadership skills. Melissa provided an exemplary service, was pleasant to work with, and the feedback from the team she coached was very positive. Melissa is a true expert in her field, and I would most definitely enjoy working with her again.

Based on what I have learned from her, I have been given the tools to exceed all of the expectations I had regarding social networking and expect to utilize sights like LinkedIn to significantly increase my professional and personal productivity. If you want to learn more about the system and concepts, Melissa is by far the GO TO person.

After some career coaching from Melissa, she directed me to her online tutorial on Networlding. I am still going thru it, but I was extremely impressed. The information is well presented, excellent and highly beneficial. If you want to understand the difference between networking and networlding and how to use current technology like LinkedIn in that endeavor, Melissa's tutorial is well worth the time.

Melissa was a guest speaker during DePaul’s annual Career Week 2013. Her mind-blowing “Networking is Dead” workshop was one of the most appealing and well-attended events hosted by my department. Melissa’s engaging illustrations support her insightful concepts of business networking. Melissa’s affinity and generosity to her alma mater is humbling. I recommend Melissa for any career or professional development workshop. If I have the opportunity, I would be happy to work with her again.
