After the discussion, Ms. Monette Quiogue presented her topic, “LikhaRatura: The Transformative Art of Narrative Marketing.” During her presentation, she addressed important questions such as why one should write a book, how to start the writing process, what message to convey, when to begin the endeavor, and where to sell the finished book. Ms. Quiogue also emphasized the importance of reading for personal and professional growth, highlighting the need to write books for individuals aiming for this kind of growth. She mentioned that writing a book establishes oneself as a thought leader, allowing one to establish authority, reach diverse audiences, educate markets, develop strategic partnerships, and generate leads and sales, all of which are beneficial in the business field.
