Confessions with Jess and Cindy

Owning Ambition with Jenny Mitchell


Listen Later

Should nonprofit consultants write a book to grow their business? Many purpose-driven entrepreneurs ponder this strategic question as they aim to establish their authority and reach new audiences. 

Jenny Mitchell generously shares her first-hand experience collaborating with 11 women leaders to produce the book “Embracing Ambition” in just 12 months. She breaks down the full process from initial conception to securing a publisher and coordinating author retreats for writing and editing. Jenny is remarkably transparent about the financial model and initial investment required. Writing and publishing the book cost over $30,000 when factoring in expenses like editorial services, author gifts and hotel accommodations. However, Jenny maintains it was worth the meaningful conversations sparked about authentic women’s leadership journeys.

With over 25 years of experience in the sector, Jenny Mitchell is perfectly positioned to provide this rare glimpse behind the curtain. 


Key Highlights:

- Insider knowledge of the book publishing process specifically for the nonprofit consulting industry

- How to leverage strategic collaborations with co-authors to share more diverse and empowering stories

- The importance of vulnerability and sincerity in advocating for women leaders

- Clarity on whether writing a book is the right move for your particular business goals

- Tips for maximizing the impact of your book through targeted PR, speaking engagements and podcast interviews
