The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Hair Senta, Gwyneth Gyimah Addo is set to release a new book titled ‘DIRECTION’.
The book features Gwen’s experiences and first-hand business strategies that serve as an experiential guide to readers in both their businesses and everyday living.
The distinctive element of the book is that the guidance offered is inspired by Biblical principles that are very practical today.
As an entrepreneur who left the corporate world to start her own business, Gwen also takes readers on her amazing entrepreneurial journey that motivates and empowers.
Commenting on her book, Gwen revealed that DIRECTION was inspired by the admonition in the Bible to trust in the Lord and not lean on one’s own understanding.
She adds, “As humans, we have no road map to make our paths straight. Only God does. So, may this directional book inspired by Biblical principles and a big dose of common sense and experience, guide you and generations after you.”
Development Economist and Youth Empowerment Advocate, Rhoda Boateng has described the book as a “rich guide for today’s generation written straight from the heart.”
“One is set to benefit from the lessons rooted in so much wisdom. A must-read for the young woman or man navigating today’s fast-paced and stressful life. DIRECTION serves as a compass,” she added.
Published by Refiners Publishers with an excellent foreword from Pastor and Executive Coach, Albert Ocran, ‘DIRECTION’ will soon be available on bookshelves and online stores.
