Judy Piatkus
Acerca de esta escucha
The inspiring memoir of female entrepreneur Judy Piatkus, who acquired the book series that inspired the global number one Netflix hit, Bridgerton.
In 1979, Judy Piatkus founded what would become a global publishing brand - Piatkus Books - from her spare bedroom. Determined to empower women s voices as a single mother with a child with learning disabilities at a time when being a self-made, female entrepreneur was rare, Judy defied expectations. Through her determination, Judy influenced, shaped, and gave rise to the cultural and professional perception of personal growth and mind, body spirit publishing.
In a year where many turned to books to provide comfort, Judy's memoir is a fantastic insight into building a company and brand identity, and what enables a team and a business to succeed.
This empowering memoir includes:
- Unique story of a female entrepreneur who, from the 1970s to the 2000s, built a global publishing brand while looking after a family, including a child with severe learning disabilities.
- How Judy discovered best-selling authors such as Nora Roberts, Julia Quinn (author of The Bridgerton series, whose first book, The Duke & I is a number one global Netflix hit), Danielle Steel, Jon Kabat-Zinn, David Allen, and Dr. Christiane Northrup.
- The discussion of Judy's pioneering values-led management style (e.g. flexi-working and transparent communication) is very timely given the changes resulting from lockdown.
- In-depth insights into how to build a publishing company and grow a brand, and what enables a book to succeed.
- How Judy's can-do attitude will inspire those struggling today in a very difficult job market.
- A foreword by Anna Sofat, Voice of Women's Wealth, Founder and CEO Addidi Wealth and Associate Director, Progeny Wealth

Robert Iger became CEO of The Walt Disney Company in 2005, during a difficult time. Competition was more intense than ever, and technology was changing faster than at any time in the company’s history. His vision came down to three clear ideas: Recommit to the concept that quality matters, embrace technology instead of fighting it, and think bigger - think global - and turn Disney into a stronger brand in international markets.

It's an axiom of business that great companies grow their revenues and profits year after year. Yet quietly, under the radar, a small number of companies have rejected the pressure of endless growth to focus on more satisfying business goals. Goals like being great at what they do, creating a great place to work, providing great customer service, making great contributions to their communities, and finding great ways to lead their lives. In Small Giants, veteran journalist Bo Burlingham takes us deep inside 14 such remarkable companies.

Raegan Moya-Jones never thought of herself as an entrepreneur. She was full-time corporate cog in her 30s, with a family to help support. Sick of her micromanaging boss, she quietly started a company in the wee hours of the morning while her daughters were asleep - and once that side business, aden + anais, hit the $1 million mark in revenue, she quit to work on it full-time, which now generates over $100 million a year in revenue.
