Become an ENGAGING EXPERT

By Cathy Davis | September 2, 2020

It’s a WHOLE NEW WORLD out there for speakers, trainers, consultants, and experts. As a member of my local NSA (National Speaker’s Association) group, I know what it’s like to have had SIX speaking gigs canceled during the first half of 2020. Major organizations, non-profits, and small business owners would typically hire experts to help […]

Chewy’s Choice

By Cathy Davis | August 13, 2020

Our Director of Barketing, Chewy (short for Mr. Happy Chewbacca Davis), has an overly particular palette, a definite penchant for fluffy sleeping arrangements, and a highly personal preference for his two favorite GRAND buds, who (in his opinion) never visit quite enough. His two GRAND buds love to read, and Chewy has selected these three […]

Creating Community

By Cathy Davis | August 5, 2020

As our immediate neighborhood and region remain in quarantine and we continue to shelter in place, I recognize the irony of getting to know my neighbors better – even if it is only carrying on a conversation across a driveway or shouting, “Good Morning” across the street.

Just because you’re Home Alone . . .

By Cathy Davis | June 18, 2020

You don’t have to publish alone! I’ve been working from our home office since January of 2004 and I LOVE it! I enjoy having the kitchen around the corner from the office and our huge front porch or our (much smaller) backyard deck for “sanity breaks.” The best part of having an office at home […]

Are you WOWO or FAMA?

By Cathy Davis | June 3, 2020

WOWO: Weirded Out & Waiting it Out? Are you curled up in a fetal position binge-watching Netflix or Disney (my fav), just waiting to see what happens next? FAMA: Fearlessly in Action to Manifest & Attract? Are you in action? From what I see, those service professionals and small businesses who have continued to take […]

Are you R.E.A.D.Y.?

By Cathy Davis | May 20, 2020

In my daily conversations with aspiring authors, there are three topics I make sure I always cover . . . Please don’t plan your retirement around the sale of your book.
