Book Ambassador Invitation
An Invitation to Partner in Quiet Formation and Authentic Leadership
Gardner Barrier Consulting (GBC) is entering a new season of strategic growth focused on building awareness of materials and increasing capacity for people to thrive. I am inviting a select group of friends, family, and colleagues to serve as Book Ambassadors – individuals who want to help me get useful resources to people that will benefit from having them.
Starting July 1, 2026, you will become part of the engine that drives advocacy and helps my library of work reach others.
Your Digital Library Perks
As a Book Ambassador, you receive immediate and ongoing access to the GBC intellectual property library to fuel your own growth and to aid in your human flourishing.
| Benefit Type | Inclusion Details |
|---|---|
| The Foundational Seven | Kindle copies of the entire core catalog (detailed below). |
| Ambassador’s Choice | Select 3 additional Kindle titles from my $3 “Cup of Coffee” library. |
| Lifetime Access | Receive a Kindle copy of future publication automatically. |
The Foundational Seven (Core Titles)
- Quiet Formation: Why curiosity, humility, and courage matter more than performance.
- Front of the Jersey: Culture, legacy, and shared identity over personal brand.
- The Valley That Would Not Settle: Navigating change and holding tension.
- Goats, Not Sheep: A manifesto for distinction in the age of AI.
- 2 Ears : 1 Mouth: Silence and deep listening as leadership strategies.
- Cultivating the Flourishing Life: Habits for physical, intellectual, and spiritual health.
- The Cost of Caring: Navigating the emotional weight of leadership.
The Investment
There is a one-time Ambassador Fee of $100. This initial investment secures:
- The Core 7 titles on Amazon Kindle.
- 3 titles of your choosing from the extended library of 12 other titles on Amazon.
- A bonus feature of “Pray” on the day of its publication – 7/1/26 – being written entirely in Pray, Montana!
- Automatic delivery of future publications via Amazon Kindle.
All 11 initial titles will be sent to you on or by July 1, 2026.
Strategic Partnership
The Ambassador role is built on the idea that you will help people find resources that will be good, useful reads and point people back to Gardner Barrier if they are seeking a coach or thought partner. I am asking for your partnership in the following ways:
- Read & Reflect: Engage with the core titles and future releases to deepen your own leadership practice.
- Provide Feedback: Offer your honest insights and feedback on the material to help refine future work.
- Review as Time Allows: Help build “Franchise Momentum” by providing Amazon reviews for titles that impact you.
- Strategic Advocacy: Share specific titles with your personal and professional networks when the timing is right for a peer or colleague.
Getting Started
The Book Ambassador initiative officially launches on July 1, 2026. If you are ready to help amplify these ideas and cultivate a flourishing leadership culture, I would be honored to have you on the team.
