My first book is a labor of love — to honor both my daughter and her Chinese heritage, and to share what I have learned about leading with folks in her generation. At the same time, I’m delighted to know that the book resonates with folks of all ages, from new grads to folks in their nineties! (Check out the reviews on Amazon for that.)
Here is a link to a 3-minute video interview with Roland Sullivan about the origins of my book. Roland is a colleague of mine and among the first “change agents” in the field of organizational development.
Cathy Perme is the co-owner of Perme & Peterson Associates, LLC.
Fizz! How to Succeed as an Independent Consultantauthor Cathy Perme also wrote Confucius in My Cubicle: Practical Wisdom for the Leader in All of Us, released by Wisdom Editions in 2017.
Cathy's marketing and selling background makes for a rich set of suggestions for getting business and building one’s brand. I think it is rare for an independent consultant to "give away" so much of their business engine and expertise. That adds up to a heap of generosity; something that is remarkable in the "friendly" competitive consulting world.

Cathy gives dozens of ideas about networking effectively, making sales calls and using social media and she doesn’t minimize the effort that has to go into it. It’s a reality check for anyone who thinks they can just hang up their shingle and become a consultant, but a great guide for anyone who’s willing to put in the hard work to be a success.
