Beth Fisher

Beth Fisher is an author, speaker, business leader, cancer-survivor, and marathoner with a passion for helping others overcome adversity. With what she calls a “checkered resume,” Beth helps bridge the gap between making decisions based on what others expect and instead, living life remorselessly, based on who you were created to be. She is a passionate inspirer of women, especially those seeking to understand their true meaning and calling.

Beth spent over twenty-five years in corporate sales, leading thousands of people within some of the largest Fortune 500 companies to identify and execute process improvement. During the course of that career is when she finally recognized what she had truly been doing all along was teaching individuals how to persevere in their own personal process improvement journey. Her strong business acumen, coupled with a deep desire to help others traverse difficult situations, is what led her to resign from the for-profit world six-months ago while on sabbatical to write her recently published book, Remorseless: Learning to Lose Labels, Expectations, and Assumptions—Without Losing Yourself. Beth is now Vice President of Communication and Advancement for Mel Trotter Ministries, a non-profit which exists to demonstrate the compassion of Jesus for anyone experiencing hunger and homelessness.

Beth holds two master’s degrees in Theology, and a B.S. in Business and Human Ecology. She is also a certified mentor and teaches personal and professional development through her coaching program, The Next Right Thing.
