Today's podcast is with Heather Vickery, professional leadership and success coach, founder of Vickery & Co, and host of the podcast The Brave Files. Heather is also a motivational speaker and author of Gratitude Journal: Shift Your Focus and Grow Grateful: A Gratitude Journal for Kids and Families. Through her story of personal bravery, perseverance, and resilience, Heather inspires audiences and empowers clients with the tools they need to live bold and meaningful lives.

In this podcast, Heather and I talk about:

• How she set goals and deadlines for herself and found the motivation to keep writing.
• Why writing her second book was easier for her in many ways, and what she learned about the necessity of focus groups for her work.
• How she learned to practice her own advice to others, and to leverage her fears and turn them into intentionally brave choices.
• Why having a published book increases your clout as an expert in your field.
