Influence Without Force
|
Posted By: Valerie Ellis on April 19, 2026 Dear HBCU, I hope you are well. I am reaching out to invite your institution to sponsor and champion a historic movement: the 1 Billion Unit Challenge, inspired by my book Influence Without Force. One ebook download can make a world of difference. The mission is bold and simple: “1 Billion Units. Zero Force.” One billion copies placed in the hands of leaders, educators, parents, and teams worldwide — not through hype or pressure, but through trust. This book teaches ethical influence, conflict‑free communication, and culture‑building skills that communities everywhere are hungry for. It also includes blank reflection and notes pages at the end, making it a powerful tool for leadership programs, student development, and campus dialogue. My goal is to make this the first Black‑authored book to break global distribution records, and I would be honored to have your HBCU stand at the forefront of this movement. Every purchase supports charitable causes and community uplift. I am also available for interviews, campus conversations, leadership talks, and media features. Would your school like to partner with or sponsor the movement? Warm regards, Valerie Ellis valerieellisauthor.com If you enjoyed this article, Join HBCU CONNECT today for similar content and opportunities via email! |
