The Client

Dan McClintock is a seasoned executive coach preparing to write his first book. Despite his deep experience and a unique perspective, Dan found the process of writing, publishing, and marketing a book daunting. He realized that turning his idea into a polished final product would require specialized knowledge beyond simply writing words on a page.

The Journey

Dan discovered Richard Lowe’s LinkedIn profile and booked a free 30-minute consultation. During their initial meeting, Richard provided candid, actionable advice on the entire book-writing process. Dan gained clarity on important areas such as:

  • Moving from idea to mind map and outline
  • Determining book length and purpose
  • Understanding editing and publishing options and costs
  • High-level marketing strategies tied to book launch

 

Richard also presented Dan with two clear paths: ghostwriting the book or coaching him to write it himself. Recognizing his own gaps, Dan embraced Richard’s ongoing coaching, which also extended to strategic advice on launching his coaching business — a natural complement to his book’s goals.
