"Redefined" Named Finalist in the 2026 International Book Awards


FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

BALTIMORE, Md., (June 30, 2026)....Author, strategic communications executive, and thought leader Cynthia E. Gutierrez-White has been named a Finalist in the 2026 International Book Awards in the Business Career category for her book, Redefined: Finding Purpose and Power After Job Loss Amid AI Disruption and Market Uncertainty (Amplify Publishing; Paperback November 18).

Sponsored by American Book Fest, the International Book Awards is one of the world's largest international book competitions, recognizing outstanding titles from traditional publishers, independent presses, and self-published authors. The competition draws thousands of entries from around the globe each year, making finalist recognition a significant achievement in today's publishing landscape.

Redefined explores the intersection of career disruption, personal reinvention, and the impact of artificial intelligence on the future of work. Inspired by Gutierrez-White's own experience navigating an unexpected job loss after a successful executive career, the book offers readers practical strategies, hope, and a roadmap for finding purpose amid uncertainty.

"This recognition is incredibly meaningful because Redefined was born out of one of the most difficult seasons of my life," said Gutierrez-White. "I wrote this book for anyone who has faced a setback and wondered what comes next. To know that this message is resonating with readers around the world is both humbling and deeply gratifying."

This is the second recognition Redefined has received in 2026. Earlier this year, the book
 was named "Winner" in the Inspirational category by the International Impact Book Awards. 

Redefined: Finding Purpose and Power After Job Loss Amid AI Disruption and Market Uncertainty is available on Amazon, Kindle, and Baltimore-area book stores. Visit internationalbookawards for the full list of winners and finalists.
