It all started in 2023, when preparing for a Father’s Day Mentoring Walk & Talk event in partnership with our company’s key stakeholders. Ahead of the day celebrating Fatherhood, I had decided to share my personal journey of overcoming hidden trauma of growing up with an absentee father at a critical time of my life.
As a countdown to the event held on Sunday 18th June 2023, I journaled 7 specific areas, which I had identified and worked on over the last few years, including some recent events. The focal areas journaled over a period of 7 days included:
⦁ Hidden Trauma
⦁ Healing Journey
⦁ Relationship choices
⦁ Teaching from experience
⦁ Lessons Learnt: Impact on Personal Leadership
After publishing my journey of ups and downs on Social Media in a simple and teachable daily devotional format, I was both touched and amazed by the feedback received by those who quietly followed the countdown posts each day until Father’s Day.
Many people of diverse backgrounds in Africa, Middle East and Europe predominantly wrote to me in private and on my social media comments sections about how my 7-day devotional gave them food for thoughts. It helped them to understand themselves a bit better and deal with unresolved issues related to Fatherlessness or wounds related to Fatherhood and/or lack thereof.
Some suggested directly that I should write a book about my story in a slightly longer format. That would help them beyond the 7-day format, initially published as short posts. As I contemplate the upcoming Father’s Day, I considered acting on my very loyal and trusted audience’s request and give them tools that are more than what was done last year.
To do that, I called upon the assistance of a local publishing company to assist with the book editing and publishing in order to enable people to raise consciousness around this very important societal issue, while providing available solutions to them.
Through your contribution that will go toward publishing costs of the book dubbed as “Self-Coaching Collection: Overcoming Fatherlessness” you will help readers of various ages and backgrounds around the world to do the following:
Your endorsement will impact the lives of many people by sponsoring the book of my testimony and that of many which were written with a methodical approach of self-paced learning outcomes. The selected self-coaching approach is set to activate the readers’ healing and transformation.
Our Goal is to initially publish 1,000 copies of the book which is the second edition of the Author’s Self-Coaching Collection.
With your endorsement, we will help a young man or woman (and not so young ones who are yet to address that specific issue) somewhere in the world to be equipped with knowledge about past or present behaviors hindering their growth. That will be achieved through equipping readers with tools that will allow them to be free and lead a fulfilling and Transformed life.
Sponsoring a 30-day mentoring program as a companion program linked to the self-coaching methodology of the book is highly advisable for institutional donors and non-profit organizations.
In addition to the above intended outcomes outlined by the Author, publishing and releasing the e-books out of Rwanda will achieve the following key impacts that align with Rwanda’s National Strategy for Transformation (NST2) agenda:
⦁ Women Economic Empowerment: this initiative challenged the Author’s Woman-Led and Woman-Owned coaching institution to launch into Self-Publishing and register as Publishing house. That, in turn, has already seen contribution of new economic opportunities for the creative industries supporting the program with their services.
⦁ Youth Employment: to be created throughout the project team
⦁ Developing Service-led and Knowledge-based Enterprises on a Global stage: the books will be launched in an e-book format available on Amazon with an openness for collaboration with major publishing houses along with the Rwanda-Based Publisher
⦁ Diaspora Engagement: raising awareness of Rwanda’s Home-Grown Solutions locally and internationally, by creating a production and distribution value chain of the books entirely sourced and produced locally and “Made-In-Rwanda”
⦁ MICE: hosting series of events as part of the book campaign launch with subsequent tailored book reading sessions and workshops for small or larger gatherings
NB: Above national impact is specific to Rwanda. Host Cities & Nations shall have the flexibility to adjust them according to the local societal impact needs.
To meet the Publisher and Author’s goals, we would be grateful for your support, any contributions and referrals you are able to make.
