A GROUP of local authors published a business book during national lockdown –and not once did they meet in person.
Good Work Good Business: Practical People Strategies for a Changing World has been written and published by 11 Thames Valley professionals.
It draws on the writers’ experiences to offer insights, guidance and practical tips on how to thrive in an ever-changing world.
And the authors created the entire book from start to finish while working remotely.
“Producing this book has been an invaluable distraction and source of support through the pandemic,” said Michelle Bailey, one of the book’s authors.
“It shows that people can use new, innovative ways of working to foster team spirit and collaboration and achieve great things, despite the challenges of not being able to meet and remote working.”
Heather Mills added: “The real challenge was the motivation to keep going. We all hit a pain point at some point and needed the help and support of others in the group to keep going.”
Each collaborator chose a subject for their own chapter and then used national lockdown to reflect, read, learn and write their section.
The group then came together online to share ideas and give feedback.
“The chapters reflect a wealth of life experience and professional practice, and a generosity of heart,” said Dr Wilson Wong, who wrote the introduction to the book.
Good Work Good Business is available from Amazon. All proceeds go to The Trussell Trust.
