Put it on the back cover of the book...? Share online...? How would you make the most of this independent third party review?

Hi all. Do any of you authors that do speaking engagements have any pro tips to minimize AV mess ups? Sessions would be for training 80 leaders during breakout sessions. I'm trying to decide how specific I want to be about: Mics Screens for PowerPoint or flip charts Workbooks and so on... My goal is to: 1. minimize tech issues and complications 2. deliver high value and engaging sessions without unnecessary noise and nonsense 3. provide empowerment, education and entertainment that sticks ( that's on me but if you've observed or experienced this- let me know- I have plenty of ideas however) Thanks!! And Happy Thanksgiving a little early.

As I mentioned back in November, a lot has been happening in my backyard (figuratively and literally.) Over the past few years, my world has expanded into multiple projects, brands, and ideas. Instead of scattering them across different places, I’ve been working on creating one central home… a HUB where all of my pillars can live under one roof. And since we’re kicking off 2026, it feels like the right moment to start slowly introducing you to what’s coming. Today, I’m sharing the first announcement: my personal logo. This isn’t just a quick sketch I whipped up. I’ve spent the last three months designing, tweaking, refining, questioning, editing, and reshaping it to feel as close to my reality as possible. Every line, every curve, every color has meaning. And yes, there’s a story behind it, which I’m including below. I welcome your feedback as I roll out more news throughout the year. This is just the beginning, and I’m excited to share, connect, and grow with you as the journey continues. Stay tuned… and Happy New Year! The RM Logo Story Every logo tells a story. This one tells mine. The Initials The mark begins with R M (my initials) but over time they’ve come to mean more than just my name. • R for Resilience, Resourcefulness, Readiness The ability to move forward, figure things out, and stay committed, even when the moment stretches me. • M for Movement, Mindset, Meaning A reminder to stay curious, keep improving, and make sure the work I do has purpose behind it. These qualities built my career long before I ever drew the letters. The Orbit Circling the initials is an open orbit: a visual snapshot of my life in motion. Some areas of the line are thicker, showing where time has sharpened my skills, deepened my confidence, and added experience that can’t be taught in a classroom. Other areas thin out, echoing how aging softens the body, tempers the mind, and slowly sands away the illusion that we ever know everything. The orbit doesn’t close because I’m still evolving as person, professional and creator.

Since finishing my manuscript in August/September, about three months have passed—and now the book is finally scheduled to release on Amazon this weekend. I’m actively learning what it takes to get a book into the world. I had a small ARC group of about a dozen readers, and I’m hoping a few of them will leave early reviews. - If you’re at a similar stage in your publishing journey, feel free to reach out. I’d love to learn from each other and share what’s working. - If you’re interested in reading the book, I’m happy to send it your way—and I’d be grateful if you’re open to leaving a review as well. - Here is the back cover description of my book: Have you ever felt like you were running from a past you could never escape? For years, Xiaorong Deng carried the weight of a life defined by loss: her mother’s suicide, her stepmother’s rejection, and the guilt of not being by her father’s side in his final days. To survive, she buried her story, convinced she was not good enough, and unworthy of belonging. But when she became a mother, she knew she had to face the past—or risk passing her wounds onto her daughter. I AM GOOD is a vulnerable and hopeful memoir about the brave journey to reclaim the girl within and find the way home. It is a story that will help you feel seen in your own struggles, find the courage to confront your past, quiet your inner critic, and finally heal your core relationships to create a legacy of love. If you have ever struggled to find your worth, this book will remind you of a powerful truth: you are, and always have been, good.
