Cathy is a dynamic, motivational and polished communicator and did a stunning job as a keynote over lunch at the American Society for Training and Development's Regional Conference. Her development of training and development programs for her very high profile clients is truly innovative and ground-breaking work. Cathy "gets it". She has the unique capabilities of being both creative and analytical, and can give you both the strategy and the detail of what it is that needs to get done for maximum impact. I would highly recommend Cathy."

I think of Cathy as a welder. When she's into a project sparks are flying. And like a welder she makes solid connections that stick. There are times when I think about writing a book just so I can call Cathy and let her run with it. If only I had Cathy's energy. The galleys would be ready to ship.

Cathy - Thank you for sharing your insight with our attendees at our 58th annual invention expo. Helping innovators learn "How to Pitch yourself or your Product" was well received. The overwhelming majority of the attendees rated your effectiveness, knowledge as a speaker and content as excellent. Here is one of my favorite quotes from one of them: "Really, really, really excellent material. Great presentation, scores of ideas to bring/raise your game to the next level. Way to go Cathy, hope you're back again!!!" I hope so, too! Thanks again!

I think of Cathy as a great connector. Whether she's helping someone launch a book or just meeting with a networking group, she's always thinking of ways she can connect people. She's the epitome of get-up-and-go and brings energy into any room she enters or group she's speaking to. Cathy makes it look so effortless, but I know better. I admire her skill and the fact that she's so willing to share her knowledge and can-do spirit.

Cathy has been an invaluable coach for me this past year as I have worked on defining the message and audience for my upcoming book. I trust her instincts and appreciate her candor. She is also a masterful networker and I am grateful to her for bringing many interesting people into my life.

Why expend effort on trying to identify a systematic, step-by-step process to a successful book launch? Working with Cathy and her team removed the uncertainty from the process and enabled me to focus my launch efforts much more strategically. Especially in an era of reduced marketing budgets, working with Cathy reassures me that my efforts as an author have a much greater chance of bearing fruit.

Cathy knows what it takes to make a book launch a success! She has the tools and the intuition to turn an even nebulous/early idea into reality! I was proud to work with her, watching the master work, and learn more about the RockPaperStar magic!

I met Cathy in 2012 and was so impressed with her that I asked her to consult with me on the launch of my new book, Design Your Own Destiny. Cathy is a superstar! Not only can she see the 'big picture' and keep you focused on it but she can dive into the details, sweat them out as needed and not lose sight of what we're trying to achieve! Cathy is an outstanding business strategist as well as a genuinely nice person. I highly recommend her for ANY role that she tells you she can do for you!

After years of trying to build my speaker business, with less than stellar results, I decided to hire Cathy to help me with a speaker buildout. She made it extremely easy to do with her help. In six one hour meetings we had a speaker profile, a buildout plan, and a marketing plan. Cathy is fun and creative to work with.

Cathy Paper is an extraordinarily resourceful and tireless worker. She has an impeccable reputation, she's a very creative thinker, and is very goal oriented. Her clients don't pay off on effort, they pay off on results and Cathy knows how to get results. She's helped me immeasurably in successfully launching my last 3 books - and all 3 became New York Times Best Sellers. She's very tech savvy, has a wicked sense of humor. Bottom line is - she gets it.
