This month we asked nonfiction authors to answer this question: What topics do you speak about?
Wendy Brentnall-Wood
My Business is Music Education, my recently published book is “Music Teaching Made Profitable – An expert’s guide to Generating More Income as a Music Teacher” as detailed here: Music Teaching Made Profitable.
I speak at Conferences and Associations for Music Teachers about “The Business Side” of being a Music teacher because it’s commonly not something Music teachers learn about until they become a business owner.
I also speak to Music Teachers about “Making ,More Impact Sharing Music” . Specifically making music lessons more relevant to student’s lives but giving them resources and opportunities to use music in their everyday life, amongst their friends, family and community. By sharing their music, students will not only reap the rewards that making music can bring to them, but also to the social network of their community.
Louise Ledbrook
I speak about how to create a thriving business that has a life without the business owner at the centre of it every day. A business that can live long and be anything it wants to be, ready to respond to anything that comes its way.
Louise Ledbrook is Founder and CEO of ProSMART®, Innovator of the ProSMARTTools® Platform and advocate for Female Leadership in all industries.
