A library
of great ideas in your hands
Work life becomes more complicated rather than simpler. Professionals, especially
female, are more bombarded with activities and responsibilities today than at
any time in history. No one can dispute that we receive more messages, more
choices, and more advice than ever before. Yet, we are starved for quality help—for
support and resources that can do us the most good. With women owned businesses
as the fastest growing business sector in our society (bigger than the GOP of
Japan), we need all the help be can get!
Entrepreneur Liane Sebastian is always on the lookout for the best ideas and
advice for finding business success. Reading voraciously, she synthesizes, generates
new ideas, and applies them to a series of successful enterprises. It frustrates
her, when searching for the best business thinkers, only to be faced with hundreds,
if not thousands of choices. Who has time to look through or attend all these
options? With limited time, it makes sense to invest it most wisely! Workingwomen
want to be so inspired by what they read or attend that they can’t wait
to run out and apply new ideas to their endeavors! Knowing that no one person
can know it all, being an avid student of others is the only way to be efficient.
There simply is not enough time to try everything, to sift through all the mistakes,
to discover what works and what doesn’t. Smart workers seek the best help.
Liane’s quest became one of seeking efficiency and inspiration to best
combine available resources and shortcuts. After attending dozens of business
conferences, seminars, and workshops, after servicing hundreds of clients as
a graphic designer, after reading almost a thousand books over many years, and
participating in many women’s business organizations, Liane has become
the foremost expert in books by and for businesswomen. She combines unique strengths
when blending both design and editing. Rare among graphic designers or writers,
Liane’s career has been built upon cultivating the blend of words and
visuals. She is the author of the classic book Digital Design Business Practices,
now in its third edition. Proud of wearing a visual coat and a marketing hat,
Liane has pioneered a new way to organize wisdom, read, and participate in a
blended media publishing environment.
Wealth of Wisdom from Workingwomen Writers encapsulates the best books by and for businesswomen. Through the quotations and the excerpts, the reader is able to sample glimpses of the 100 best books to help her decide what most resonates. As a portable companion filled with great ideas and advice, the “Consider Circles” of quotations (like imaginary discussions between the leading thinkers and authors) adds depth and warmth, showing how women are defining the new business landscape through issues that enhance, enrich, and engage.
