Kate Delaney’s Deal Your Own Destiny is inspiring and compelling. Kate gets it! Business ownership a journey and often things do go as planned. Kate shares with us the many set backs and disappointments she experienced in her career as a female sports broadcaster and how she was able to persevere and pursue her dreams. She also provides examples of sports icons who had to overcome obstacles to achieve their success. I was inspired after reading this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Compelling Read With Simple Action Steps
Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2018

I enjoyed the whole book but I was especially engaged by Kate's story about her dad – what a great legacy. Most people will probably be more interested in the stories about sports and well-known people Kate has interviewed over the years (Playmakers). However, I have to say Chapter 6 "What Are Your Stats? Who You Are and How You Say It Matters" was my favorite as so many business owners and change leaders struggle with how to compelling say what they do. I struggled with this for years mostly because I do multiple things but now that I have it down to the right one sentence it makes all the difference. Kate's direct and dynamic stories keep you reading and her Curveballs (Action Steps at the end of each Chapter) tell you exactly what to do today to Deal Your Own Destiny. Well done.

I finished this jewel is one day. Kate opens this book with acknowledgment of 500 (five hundred!) rejections before the right door was opened. How do you continue to forward in the face of this amount of rejection? I have experienced a number of setbacks and challenges, and this book provides some very practical advice through stories of life experience that are really encouraging and a reminder that I may not have everything figured out but I know myself better than anyone else and am responsible for each choice I make - I don’t have to listen to the distractors. Put this book in your library - because if you don't currently need a reminder, at some point you will need a reminder that you can plot the way forward.

Such a fun read! Stories of sports legends and heroes and Kate's personal journey are all woven into timeless life lessons that inspire and motivate. After reading this book, I immediately purchased additional copies for my grandsons who are big into sports and would relate to the many celebrity sports stars mentioned in the book. A continuing thread though all the stories are Kate's wisdom and insights on living an extraordinary life. That is the real gift to them.

4.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring Story / Practical tips you can use in your personal & professional life!
Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2020
I had not previously heard of Kate Delaney - but she has an interesting and compelling life story! The book reminds us all that we are in charge of our own life - that once we fully understand what we are good at and WANT out of life - it is simply a matter of going after it - no matter what others say or do. Kate's book has references to other books that inspired her (all worth checking out) and lots of practical tips on what you can in your personal and professional life to help you stand out / become memorable and just kick more butt! It is a quick read - and in my view - as long as you can come away with one actionable item - worth consuming. I found several tips I've already incorporated into my own professional life!

5.0 out of 5 stars Kate Delaney Hits a Home Run!
Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2018
Guts! Determination! Astute! Moxie! These are just some of the terms that I would use to describe Kate Delaney! In her book, Deal Your Own Destiny, Kate generously shares her effective strategies for pushing through those tough times when you feel like you've hit another wall. This is a must read for anyone who wants to succeed, and most importantly, to push forward in your career in the face of adversity. As a business woman and owner who has moxie, yes I grew up in NJ just like Kate, I gained so many new takeaways to continue to grow my business. Kate inspires women as she shares her story of breaking through the glass ceiling of the male dominated sports industry. Thanks for your inspiration Kate!

5.0 out of 5 stars If You're Ready to Breakthrough In Business, This is a Must Read
Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2018
A great read! This book was hard to put down. I devoured it in two settings. Deal Your Own Destiny is packed with great stories and filled with real life business lessons from the CEO's Kate has worked with to the incredible athletes she's interviewed. It's about finding your "Wow" in business, that thing that makes you special. This book busts through that glass ceiling. Every chapter leaves you with thought provoking questions. With perseverance, dedication and resilience this will not only inspire you, but drive you to become the person you were meant to be. I'll be re-reading this book with a highlighter and pencil. Are you ready to Deal Your Own Destiny? Then you need to pick up a copy.
