From Strategic Boardrooms To Everyday Financial Wellbeing

Melanie Eusebe has spent over two decades inside some of the world’s most recognised organisations, leading strategic transformation initiatives and shaping the way global brands grow. A seasoned management consultant, she specialises in organisational and operational strategy, helping companies identify what really drives revenue, profit and sustainable performance.

Over the years, she saw the same pattern repeat itself. Behind every spreadsheet and board paper were real people, wrestling with their own relationship with money, security and possibility. Financial wellbeing was not just a personal concern, it was a powerful business issue.

That insight became the foundation of her book, Financial Wellness and How to Find It, a practical, human conversation about what it really means to feel financially well and how to move towards it.

“Publishing my book was one of the best decisions I ever made, not just because I became an author, but because my book became a gateway to opportunities I never expected.”

For Melanie, the book has become much more than a credential. It is a tool, a platform and a passport into rooms and conversations that simply were not available before.

Before The Book: An Expert With A Message, Looking For A Medium

Long before the manuscript came together, Melanie was already established as a trusted voice in strategy and transformation. She was advising senior leaders, steering complex initiatives and supporting organisations to deliver profitable growth.

Yet there was a piece missing.

She wanted to express her thinking on financial wellness in a way that could reach far beyond a single client, programme or keynote. She wanted something meaningful, rooted in lived experience, that could help others while also cementing her position as a thought leader in this space.

“Before I launched, I thought of my book as the goal. I wanted to write something meaningful, something that would help others and establish my expertise.”

Like many experts, she initially saw authorship as the finish line: write the book, publish the book, then move on. What she had not yet fully seen was that a book can be much more than an endpoint.

‍

The Turning Point: Realising The Book Was Only The Beginning

The real shift came when Melanie reframed what her book could be. Instead of treating publication as the destination, she began to view Financial Wellness and How to Find It as the starting point for a bigger body of work.

“But what I didn’t fully realise was that my book wasn’t just the goal, it was the starting point.”

This change in perspective transformed her approach. Through the author journey, Melanie became intentional about what she wanted the book to do for her and for the people who would read it.

Rather than hoping it would find its way into the right hands, she started to think strategically: Which audiences needed this message? Which platforms could amplify it? How could the book sit at the centre of a wider ecosystem of talks, interviews, advisory work and content?

Write Business Results supported Melanie to hold that bigger vision, treating the book as a strategic asset rather than a stand-alone project and giving her the framework to build from the page outwards.

The Creation Journey: Clarifying A Practical Blueprint For Financial Wellness

As a consultant, Melanie was used to distilling complex problems into clear strategies. Translating years of insight on financial wellness into a coherent book, however, required a different kind of structure and support.

Working through the WBR process, she focused on three key things: the reader she most wanted to help, the shift she wanted them to experience and the role the book would play in her wider work. This clarity allowed her to anchor each chapter in real-world application rather than theory alone.

The result is a book that feels both accessible and commercially grounded. It speaks to professionals and leaders who want more than surface-level advice; they want to understand what financial wellness looks like for them and how to move towards it in a sustainable, realistic way.

Melanie’s consulting experience meant her ideas were already robust. The author journey helped her package them into a message that could stand on its own and speak for her in rooms she had not yet entered.

The Results & Impact: When The Book Started Speaking First

Once Financial Wellness and How to Find It was out in the world, the impact was immediate.

“Once it was out in the world, everything changed. Doors that had once been shut started opening. Podcast hosts wanted to interview me. Event organisers reached out to book me as a speaker. People I admired were suddenly reading my book and getting in touch. My book gave me credibility in ways that no marketing campaign or networking event ever had.”

Instead of leading with a pitch, Melanie could lead with her ideas. The book travelled ahead of her, landing on desks, in inboxes and on social feeds, and creating a reason for people to start a conversation.

“The best part? I didn’t have to pitch myself anymore–my book did it for me. It spoke for me before I even entered the room. It gave people a reason to invite me onto their platforms, ask me to share my insights, and trust my expertise.”

That shift from outbound effort to inbound opportunity has been profound. Being an author has strengthened her positioning, deepened trust with existing clients and opened up new streams of visibility through podcasts, events and media.

Crucially, the book has also provided language for a topic that can often feel abstract or intimidating. For organisations thinking seriously about wellbeing, culture and performance, Melanie’s work now offers both a vocabulary and a roadmap.

Putting The Book To Work: A Deliberate Strategy, Not An Accident

Melanie is clear that none of this happened by chance. The success of the book as an asset has been driven by consistency, intention and a willingness to keep talking about it long after launch week.

“But here’s what I want you to know: this doesn’t happen by accident. If you want your book to propel you forward, you have to put it to work. I made a plan to get it in front of the right people. I reached out to podcast hosts, applied to speak at events, and leveraged PR opportunities. I built content around my book–pulling insights from it to share in articles, interviews, and social media. I kept talking about it, long after the launch.”

Working with Write Business Results, she treated the book as the centre of her content and visibility strategy. Every chapter became a source of potential articles, talking points and social content. Every appearance became an opportunity to reference the book and deepen her authority in financial wellness.

The payoff has been a growing audience that understands who she is and what she stands for before she ever walks into a room. Her book now underpins her speaking, advisory work and profile as a trusted voice on the link between financial wellbeing and sustainable growth.

Legacy And Future Vision: A Book That Builds Reputation And Reach

Melanie’s ambition has never been just to add “author” to her bio. Her aim is to change the way people think about money, security and success, both personally and within organisations.

Financial Wellness and How to Find It has become the foundation for that legacy. It is a resource she can put into the hands of clients, audiences and partners as a tangible expression of her thinking.

“If you do the same, your book will do far more than sit on shelves. It will build your reputation, grow your audience, and open doors you never even considered.”

Looking ahead, Melanie continues to build on the momentum created by the book. Each new opportunity – whether a keynote, a panel, a podcast or a strategic engagement – feeds back into the same core message: financial wellness is not a luxury, it is a critical part of how people and organisations thrive.

Her book ensures that message has a life far beyond any single conversation.

The WBR Experience: Turning Expertise Into A Powerful Tool

For Melanie, partnering with Write Business Results was about more than getting a manuscript finished. It was about having a team that understood both the human heart of her message and the commercial realities of her world.

Together, they shaped a book that aligns with her decades of strategic experience while speaking directly to the people she most wants to help. The WBR framework gave her a structure for the content and, crucially, a strategy for what came next, so the book could function as “your most powerful tool” rather than a static asset.

“So don’t stop at publishing. Keep pushing forward. Keep sharing your message. Your book is more than just pages–it’s your most powerful tool.”

Her journey is a clear illustration of what happens when deep expertise, a compelling message and a thoughtful book strategy come together.
