A professional writer, editor, marketing consultant, and energy worker for many years, Kathy Henderson-Sturtz has worked with a wide variety of individuals, businesses, and non-profit organizations as both independent contractor and employee.

Currently, she devotes a good portion of her time helping individuals overcome personal performance issues, such as limiting beliefs, phobias, bad habits and self-sabotaging behavior. Helping others move past the things that prevent them from pursuing and experiencing their true potential is both challenging and rewarding.

She says, “It always feels so good helping others succeed!”

Kathy is the author of over a dozen reference books. Market Guide for Young Writers, retitled since the 4th edition as The Young Writer’s Guide to Getting Published (Writer’s Digest Books), and What Would We Do Without You?, A Guide to Volunteer Activities for Kids (Betterway Publications), have both won national awards.

She is also a Certified Guerrilla Marketing Coach. Coined by Jay Conrad Levinson, Guerrilla Marketing™; focuses on getting maximum results from available resources and creative thinking at minimal expense.

Kathy was a featured Business Coach and forum manager (WizOp) on the Building Your Business forum powered by CompuServe/AOL, and served as a senior staff member from 1994 to 2007 for Mike Bayer Public Relations and the Businessfor.com Group of Forums, which included Building Your Business, Career Management, Research, Personal Finance, and others.

Finally applying to college after her two children were grown, she was awarded a Northwood University (MI) historic high of 60 course credits for her extensive and documented work/life experience. She went on to earn an Associate of Arts degree in business management and remains just four courses shy of a dual major in business management and marketing.

Since then, she’s returned to Northwood several times as a featured speaker, including topics on conversational differences between men & women, pursuing a freelance marketing career, and managing your personal insight and energy in your work.

She added ‘Sturtz’ to her name upon marrying her wonderful husband & professional chef, Dennis, in 2003.
