About Monica Rubombora
Monica Rubombora has almost two decades’ worth of extensive work experience in the banking, insurance, government, management consulting, and technology industries.
She has been on both sides of the aisle: in the government civil service, she worked as a Deputy Director-General, leading a team of almost 200 government officials to manage and operate the largest Government Procurement Shared Service Agency in South Africa. She evaluated and awarded hundreds of tenders on behalf of the government.
Today she runs her own business and technology consulting company with the government as one of the anchor clients. She has partnered with both big and small companies to bid for, win, and deliver large-scale projects. She has also competed with these same corporate goliaths to tender for and win government contracts.
She published her book, “Government Tenders Don’t Suck” in 2019
Why did Monica want to become an author?
Monica writes because she loves to share her knowledge with the world, inspiring hope, and a way forward, one person at a time. She is an influential voice on leadership, mentorship, entrepreneurship, government, and mindset change. She is an avid bookworm and enjoys doing philanthropy and community upliftment work.
Monica has been dreaming of writing a book for years! She always has a book in her head and has been encouraged by many people to write a book.
How did Happy Self Publishing help Monica become an author?
When she finished her manuscript, she kept wondering what was the next best thing to do and realized she needed someone to edit, do the cover, and make it look like a real book!
When she reached out to us online, Jyotsna scheduled a call and listened to her, discovered where she was in the process, found out what she needed, designed a special package that suited her, and assigned Sushmitha to be her dedicated Project Manager.
We went through the professional editing process, interior design, cover design, and launched the book as a Bestseller!
What impact did the book have on Monica’s life and business?
Since Monica’s book, “Government Tenders Don’t Suck”, was published, she’s been seen as someone very intelligent in her community and a “go-to person” in her niche!
The main benefit Monica got from writing her book is increased public speaking engagements. Everyone wants to hear what she has to say about a topic. She got to travel and speak to a lot of big audiences and speak about not only what she’s written but about various topics. She talked about hundreds of people about how to grow their businesses. She has also talked about how to improve the city and the community, her relationship with politics, and a lot more! Even during the lockdown, she still gets busy speaking on Zoom!
These speaking opportunities are powerful because when someone hears you speaking, guess what they do? They go to your website and find the services and products you’re offering and buy them because they find you credible.
