#PARTNERtweet : 140Bite-Sized Ideas on Smart Partnering (Published)

140 Bite Sized ideas for succeeding in your Partnerships

Have you ever dreamt of writing a book? 

 I always imagined publishing a book that can help the community around me.  Both of these aspirations came true very recently when I published my first book #PARTNERtweet.  All the royalties of this book will be donated to charities that support children.

The first reason to write a book was formed 5 years ago when I saw the movie BUCKETLIST.    This move was so inspiring to me because it captured the essense of living with a purpose.  Ever since i have created a bucketlist for my life and writing a book was one of them.  The other reason of donating the royalties to charities was inspired by Al Gore.  He has donated royalties to help raise awareness about Climate Crisis.

It was an emotional journey in writing this book.  I had lot of help from everyone and especially my mentor who helped me choose a topic for the book.  It was based on my experience that I gained in my career.  I truly believe in Smart Partnering because it enables partners to win in their own terms while achieving a greater good (business personal, social). 

#PARTNERtweet is an addition to the THINKaha series which is 100-page book with 140 bite-sized ideas of 140 character or less. This book is an easy read and can be read very quickly.  The purpose of #PARTNERtweet is to highlight the importance of partnering and to build successful relationships (business, personal or social). 

 Some of the benefits can be summarized as:

• Increase your profitability through smart partnering
• Build the right culture for winning (and keeping) customers’ hearts and minds
• Develop community and successfully interact with it
• Deliver great experience across all customer interaction points
• Increase customer loyalty by increasing the quality of your offerings and the service you offer

The journey to create this book would not be possible without a tribe. I want to thank everyone who helped me make this happen.
