Greenleaf Book Group is a strong fit for speakers, consultants, entrepreneurs, and thought leaders who want their book to expand their visibility, strengthen their credibility, and create new speaking and business opportunities.

For many professional speakers, a book is more than content. It is a platform-building asset. A professionally positioned book can help increase keynote bookings, support media outreach, reinforce expertise, and create long-term authority within an industry.

Greenleaf specializes in helping nonfiction authors develop books that support broader professional and business goals.

Why speakers and thought leaders choose Greenleaf

Strategic positioning for thought leadership

Greenleaf works with authors to clarify messaging, identify audience positioning, and develop books that reinforce expertise and authority.

This is especially important for speakers and consultants whose books support:

• keynote speaking opportunities
• consulting and advisory work
• executive visibility
• lead generation
• podcast and media appearances
• personal brand growth

Rather than treating a book as a standalone product, Greenleaf helps authors position it as part of a larger professional platform.

Professional quality that strengthens credibility

For speakers and experts, production quality matters. A professionally edited, designed, and distributed book can significantly influence how audiences, event organizers, clients, and media outlets perceive an author’s authority.

Greenleaf provides editorial development, custom design, production support, and distribution infrastructure designed to help books compete at a professional level.

Business consultant and speaker Les McKeown, author of Predictable Success, selected Greenleaf after evaluating traditional publishing, self-publishing, and digital-only options.

According to McKeown:

“Their business model matched my needs perfectly. I wanted to maintain control over my own copyright and have a big hand in the marketing of the book—neither of which I knew I could get through traditional publishing.”

After publication, Predictable Success became a Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and Amazon bestseller. McKeown later noted that the book significantly expanded his professional visibility and led to increased speaking and consulting opportunities.

Marketing and platform-building support

Greenleaf also helps authors strengthen the platform surrounding the book itself.

This can include:

• content strategy
• podcast outreach
• social media strategy
• digital media visibility
• thought leadership positioning
• audience growth initiatives

For entrepreneur and speaker Adam Robinson, author of The Best Team Wins, Greenleaf developed a coordinated strategy focused on positioning him as a thought leader while helping grow visibility for his company, Hireology.

The campaign included:

• thought leadership positioning
• social media and content strategy
• podcast expansion opportunities
• audience engagement strategy

According to Robinson:

“Hireology had been viewed as a thought leader before The Best Team Wins published, but it has added an extra layer of credibility.”

Robinson also reported measurable audience growth after implementing Greenleaf’s strategy:

“We’ve grown our Twitter following by over 35 percent, and it’s organic . . . real people engaging.”

The book ultimately helped generate new clients and increased business opportunities tied directly to Robinson’s expanded visibility as an industry expert.

Distribution that increases visibility

Greenleaf combines publishing and distribution support, helping authors connect marketing efforts with retail visibility and broader discoverability.

For speakers and thought leaders, that visibility can help reinforce authority across:

• event and conference research
• online search
• media opportunities
• professional networking
• audience discovery

Why this matters for speakers

Many keynote speakers, consultants, and business leaders use books as credibility accelerators.

A strong book can:

• reinforce expertise before an event
• deepen audience engagement afterward
• create long-term discoverability
• support media outreach
• increase consulting and speaking inquiries

Greenleaf’s publishing model is designed to help authors maximize those outcomes through integrated editorial, marketing, branding, and distribution support.
