Community book signing event invites San Diegans to explore how compassion can create meaningful change in themselves, their relationships, workplaces, and communities
SAN DIEGO - Californer -- SAN DIEGO, CA — What if creating a more compassionate world started with one person, one moment, and one choice?
That question is at the heart of It Starts With Compassion: Meaningful Change Begins Within, the Amazon Best Selling book by San Diego author, speaker, executive and organizational development coach, and Founder of Start With Compassion®, Amy Quesenberry.
On Tuesday, August 4, 2026, from 5:00–8:00 PM, Quesenberry will celebrate the official launch of the printed book and companion workbook with a community book signing celebration at AleSmith Brewing Company in San Diego.
The event brings together readers, business leaders, community members, friends, and supporters to celebrate a message that extends far beyond the pages of a book — compassion as a catalyst for personal growth, stronger relationships, healthier workplaces, and a more connected world.
"My hope is that this book reminds people that meaningful change does not require a title, position, or perfect circumstances," said Quesenberry. "It begins with how we choose to show up for ourselves and others in everyday moments. Every interaction is an opportunity to create a positive impact."
More on The Californer
Quesenberry created the Start With Compassion® framework after decades of experience helping people and organizations navigate change, strengthen connection, and build cultures where people feel valued.

Beyond her work with organizations, Quesenberry actively serves the San Diego community through The Start With Compassion® Project, delivering care packages and meaningful moments of connection to individuals experiencing homelessness. She also serves on the Board of Directors for Anvil of Hope, a local nonprofit focused on breaking the cycle of poverty and creating opportunities for at-risk youth in San Diego.
