About Us


Growth and Development Media is an independent publisher of non-fiction, founded in 2024.

Our books share engaging knowledge, irresistible insights, and practical strategies that educate and inspire. Our vision is to help people to grow and develop so they can create change personally and professionally, and live their best lives.

Who we are and why we're here

Growth and Development Media is led by Cherry and Peter Vanderbeke. Both global travelers, they've had long careers as senior executives, business owners, and business mentors, and wanted to share knowledge with a much wider audience through books and new author voices.

As a business and as a team we are: authentic, approachable, welcoming, practical, trustworthy, accurate, wise. And also fun - our philosophy is that learning should have an element of fun or at least light-hearted humor, to help the learning "stick".

When we interact with people through our books and other learning resources our approach is to educate, coach, encourage, inspire, and entertain.
