Today’s guest believes that authors change the world. She works with professionals and thought leaders who want to write a book as a business growth strategy. She is the author of 11 books, including “On Your Mark: From First Word to First Draft in Six Weeks,” “Blog2Book: Repurposing Content to Discover the Book You’ve Already Written”, and “The Speaker Author: Sell More Books and Book More Speeches,” written with co-author Lois Creamer. She has helped over 200 professionals become published authors.

Through her creative energy, she helps her clients identify the right book to write, and develops a community of supportive, like-minded individuals who want to change the world–through the written and spoken word–one word at a time.

As a professional speaker with the National Speakers Association, she provides engaging programs and workshops to help audiences find their creative voice. She is adept at delivering high-engagement virtual programs and in-person workshops and retreats. Please join me in welcoming Cathy D. Fyock.

• her thoughts on leadership: “Leadership is a combination of things. One is being a good visionary (having a vision of success). Another is having a strategy. The final thing is having a sense of impatience.”
• how she has been pulling things together and leading others since childhood.
• her very cool connection to Diane Sawyer and how she became a fan of hers in the third grade.
• her many jobs before stumbling into Human Resources, a career she held for 20 years, before becoming an entrepreneur.

• how she was forced to develop the program on her process to write a book and how she got her first book coaching clients.
• how she found her business through exploring her passion and developing her skills.
