She has received the BET Trailblazer of the Decade Award, March of Dimes White Rose Awards, LINKS Founder of the Year award and a Motion Picture and Television Crystal Reel Award  for producing several successful public service announcements for her work in the areas of youth and community issues.

Many gravitate to the energetic and dynamic personality of Dr. Catchings, often young people and parents struggling with difficult and challenging experiences are her greatest attractors. She’s not afraid to share her experiences as a childhood burn victim, surviving an alcoholic family, a former gang member and single parent challenges – she calmly says it gives her the added ability to relate to and assist with motivating youth, reengaging adults and revitalizing communities where she gratefully and humbly serves as a positive role model. Her global advocacy establishes her as an inspiring, motivational speaker, wellness consultant, empowerment coach and strategist for special interest groups and communities. The quotation above is the hallmark of a life dedicated to serving villages and is the mantra by which she lives. Through her works and efforts it’s easy to see why Dr. Catchings has been designated a true millennium “Village Teacher.”

Leaving her thumb print across the United States and Europe, she successfully developed programs which include A+ Parenting, Teen Town Hall Meetings, Teen Advisory Councils, produced two radio shows, further demonstrating her tirelessness for improving community “village” conditions. She gained prominence for creating a unique after-school tutor-mentoring program partnering high-risk urban youth with students from the University of Michigan, and founding the T. G. Mitchell scholarship for single parents. After a brutal hate crime-gang attack, she and her son founded the vocal group Chivalry, established the 24-hour, toll free, anonymous Speakout hotline program still used as a national model for its success in decreasing school bullying, gang activity, weapons on campus and neighborhood drug sales.

CelebrityPress™ describes The Winning Way:

By definition, winning means that you competed and you came out ahead. Human nature requires us to compete in order to survive. Therefore, winning and survival have the element of success in common. To ascend to a winning position, you need a goal, a desire to achieve it, and the qualities of discipline, perseverance and action to attain it.

Having your goal and setting yourself up to achieve your goal is the first step in the process. You adjust your mindset and begin to plan diligently. Goals may be as different as DNA, but methodologies have much in common. Furthermore, your plans and expectations will need adjustments as you go along. That is why the knowledge shared by the CelebrityExperts® in this book will be of importance to you.

The advice and suggestions of these CelebrityExperts® are based on their experiences – both their accomplishments and their shipwrecks. The knowledge they share will allow you to make plans that can propel you in the right direction. That is the function of a mentor – to guide you where you are going and to advise what to avoid.

After such a successful release, Dr. Cheryl Catchings will be recognized by The National Academy of Best-Selling Authors™, an organization that honors authors from many of the leading independent best-seller lists.
