Business Professionals Get Motivational Boost this Week with New Release of Golf-Inspired Guide

RICHMOND, Va. - June 26, 2013 - PRLog -- Good Morning Richmond is preparing to host Virginia author Robert Fiacco on June 27. On the show, the long-time motivational speaker and first-time author will unveil his new book, Showing Up To Play: Business and Life Lessons Learned on the Golf Course, and talk about its value and pep for business professionals striving to achieve big goals.

The TV appearance will launch his state tour with his first two stops following immediately. Fiacco will be present for a signing on Friday, June 28 at Book People from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. on 536 Granite Avenue in Richmond, Virginia. Fans can meet him at Barnes & Noble in Glen Allen, Virginia, on June 29 from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m.  On Sunday, June 30, Fiacco is hosting a private celebration at his golf club.

Released on the summer solstice, just as golfers dust off their clubs and head to the links, the book weaves together practical and compelling advice for motivated businessmen and -women with witty and humorous golf anecdotes. Fiacco’s sage advice and entertaining analogies are sure to both guide and inspire devoted sports enthusiasts and nongolfers alike.  

Future business leaders should look to the competitive world of golf for inspiration and advice, Fiacco suggests. In Showing Up To Play, Fiacco, an avid golfer and successful 30-year business veteran, draws detailed and compelling connections between lessons learned on the golf course and in the boardroom. “The most talented golfers and the most successful business leaders share some of the same traits: humility, absolute determination, and, above all, a willingness to show up and play,” Fiacco writes.

Showing Up to Play is now available in paperback, hardcover, and eBook through BQB’s online store (http://shop.boutiqueofqualitybooks.com/searchquick-submit...), Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/SHOWING-UP-TO-PLAY-Business/dp/1937...), Barnes & Noble (http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/showing-up-to-play-robert...), or your favorite bookseller.
