Inspired by a recent LinkedIn post about the season of light and learning, Gillian shares why giving business books is one of the most meaningful ways to connect with colleagues, clients, and friends—not just during the holidays, but all year round. She explores how sending someone a book says "I was thinking of you" in a deeply personal way, and reveals practical tips like drop-shipping books internationally through Amazon, adding gift receipts, and even creating custom 12-book collections as a year-long gift of learning.
Beyond the mechanics of book-giving, Gillian makes a passionate case for supporting self-published authors in your network. She explains how Amazon reviews, book selfies on LinkedIn, and simply purchasing books directly impact authors who don't have big marketing budgets behind them. Whether you're looking for last-minute holiday gifts, want to strengthen client relationships, or simply want to share knowledge that could help someone level up their business, this episode shows you how book-giving creates that magical one-plus-one-equals-three connection.
