Transforming Your Identity by Writing a Best Selling Book with Kim O'Hara

Today's guest, Kim O'Hara was a Hollywood movie producer and screenwriter before transitioning to book coaching over 8 years ago.  Kim believes that everyone can write a book and that they often discover more about themselves through writing. Writing a book is much different than other forms of communication as it requires a transformation of identity and letting go of preconceived notions about ourselves and the book we are meant to write. Kim works with experts and thought leaders to help them write their books and believes that the process can lead to a great sense of both discovery and visibility. In this episode, you will learn the following: 1. The transformation Kim went through from movie producing and screenwriting to book coaching  2. What is the divide between people who say they want to write a book and those who actually do? 3. How does writing a book require a transformation of identity? Mic Drop Moment:  "Letting go of what you thought your book should be about is one of the greatest gifts you can give a reader." - Kim O'Hara Want to connect with our amazing guest, book coach Kim O'Hara?
