The strangest bit about writing a book is that you lose part of your soul…. It moves on and goes to live a separate life in the minds of your readers.
That’s how I felt on Wednesday night when Yang-May and I launched International Communications Strategy at The University of Chicago Booth School of Business in the City of London.
Many years of work have gone into the book….. Many conversations in different parts of the world, many hours spent slipping into other people’s shoes trying to understand their ways of looking at the word and telling stories. It was overwhelming to see it all coming together.
Yang-May and I were also overwhelmed by the number of friends and colleagues that attended our launch.
I would like to thank from the bottom of my heart Diane Morris (with us in the photo), the President of The International Alliance for Women, for all her support and for co-hosting the event. Many thanks also to Arnold Longboy and his team at Chicago Booth for hosting us at their superb venue. The event was catered by Café Spice Namaste. Many thanks to Cyrus, Pervin, Gina and their team for the wonderful food.
And of course thanks to Yang-May for being who she is…. the best co-author in the world!
