Booth or Bust: Navigating the Conference Circuit as an Entrepreneur/Author
In the world of entrepreneurship and authorship, one of the most challenging decisions revolves around participating in conferences or expos. Whether it's weighing the financial investment against potential gains or considering the impact on visibility and networking, entrepreneurs and authors often find themselves at a crossroads. Amber and I have been honoured to have a booth at the American Library Association Conference (in Chicago), as well as Reading for the Love of It (In Toronto) in the past year.
Conferences come with a hefty price tag, often ranging from hundreds to thousands of dollars for attendance, booth space, accommodations, travel or workshop presenting opportunities. As Canadians, we also have to take into the account the currency exchange rate, which can increase the cost by over 40%. For entrepreneurs like us, this can be daunting. Each time we consider a submission, we have to carefully evaluate the return on investment (ROI) in terms of book sales, brand exposure, and networking potential.
Emotional Well-Being … Are We Proactive or Reactive?
In a world where our children face an ever-growing array of challenges, the importance of nurturing their emotional well-being has never been more vital.

What Does the Science Say?
Press Release: Are You Frustrated Daily Because You Can't Connect with a Child Who Is Out of Control or Defiant?
Phoenix, AZ -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/14/2023 -- Host Lynn McLaughlin is joined by Ginny Luther, who has experienced unimaginable crises in her life. When she was 15 years old, her father took his own life. Tragically, she also lost her son to murder in 2008. She has now authored a book, "Blue Star Grit: A Mother's Journey of Triumph and Tragedy, Raising a Defiant Child into an Exceptional Leader," to help parents see that there is a way!
Through her own experiences and trauma, Ginny Luther helps us see how we can change our approach. Our response at any moment has an impact on a child – they will mirror us. The connection we have with them is the key to effective discipline, and how we respond in those moments with empathy or compassion shows them that we are a safe and secure person.
