As we reach a year and a half since the publication of Right For YOU, I want to take a moment to celebrate and reflect on the incredible journey this book has taken. It’s been an honor to see how it has impacted readers and garnered recognition in the literary world. Here’s a look back at some of the most memorable feedback and accolades Right For YOU has received so far.
Book Nerdection Reviewers' Choice Award
Kicking off our celebration, Right For YOU won the Book Nerdection Reviewers' Choice Award in the non-fiction category! This award is particularly special because it reflects the positive reception from both readers and reviewers. One review perfectly captured the essence of what I aimed to achieve:
"Lindsay was successful in writing the perfect career-coaching book. It focuses on shifting the mindset to make professional decisions. But the benefit does not end here. Her framework changes your mindset in such a way that you become content in other areas of your life. This is because her framework helps in clearing your mind, making informed decisions, discovering your skillset, negotiating skills, and never settling for less."
As a career coach, my primary goal is to help individuals navigate their professional lives. Hearing that my work also brings fulfillment to other areas of life is incredibly rewarding. I’m grateful for this recognition and eager to continue supporting others on their journey to doing what’s right for them.
2023 Literary Global Book Awards
Continuing the theme of celebration and gratitude, I’m thrilled to share that Right For YOU was awarded two category prizes at the 2023 Literary Global Book Awards, specifically in the Business-Careers and Business-Motivational categories.
These awards are a testament to the book's impact and reach. They help introduce my work to even more people who can benefit from its guidance. Thank you for celebrating these milestones with me and for your continued support in helping others find what’s right for them.
Reader’s Favorite 5-Star Review
Another highlight came from Reader’s Favorite, where Right For YOU received a 5-star review. It’s always wonderful to hear that my writing resonates with readers, and this review particularly highlighted the accessibility and engagement of my writing style:
