Stevie Award Winners to Be Announced in New York on November 8

Lisa Tener has been named a Finalist in the “Book of the Year” Category for her groundbreaking release, Breathe. Write. Breathe.: 18 Energizing Practices to Spark Your Writing and Free Your Voice in the 21st annual Stevie® Awards for Women in Business. She will ultimately be recognized as a Gold, Silver, or Bronze Stevie Award winner in the program.

Lisa Tener is a book coach, trainer, and creativity catalyst known for helping writers, entrepreneurs and experts easily access creative flow, free their voice, and write life-changing—and award-winning—books.  

Her latest, and category-defying, book, Breathe. Write. Breathe.: 18 Energizing Practices to Spark Your Writing and Free Your Voice, has won 9 book awards to date. In it, she reveals how ancient, mindful movement and breathing practices invoke an instant flow state for writing and creative endeavors.

“I wrote Breathe. Write. Breathe. to share the powerful, ancient practices that have opened me, my clients and students to instant creative flow and inspiration to produce our best writing. It works for professionals, novices and anyone who wants—or needs—to write.”

The genesis of Breathe. Write. Breathe. is Lisa Tener’s personal journey from sporadic success to prolific authorship, spurred by integrating mindful breathing and movement into her writing practice. This book shares her transformative method, with practices that are proven to induce creativity and that have significantly enhanced the quality of writing for Tener and hundreds of her students and clients.

Published by Prosperity House Media, Tener’s book introduces 18 energizing practices from yoga, qigong, polarity energy work and other traditions, with actionable steps for writers to incorporate into their daily routines.

“I’m honored that the Stevie Awards jury found Breathe. Write. Breathe. to be an extraordinary book that makes an outstanding contribution. The fact that a book about applying mindful movement and breathing practices for creative flow can win a book award in the business world demonstrates just how far we’ve come with body-oriented and mindfulness practices as a culture,” says Tener. “Research shows—and businesses are realizing—that embodied presence makes us more effective in life and at work. And that ancient practices from yoga and qigong traditions, in particular, can spur innovative thinking.”

The Stevie Awards for Women in Business honor women executives, entrepreneurs, employees and the companies they run – worldwide.  The Stevie Awards have been hailed as the world’s premier business awards.

Gold, Silver, and Bronze Stevie Award winners will be announced during a gala event at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York City on Friday, November 8.  Nominated women executives and entrepreneurs from around the world are expected to attend.  The event will be broadcast on Livestream.

Finalists were determined by the average scores of more than 200 business professionals around the world, working on six juries.
