Emmy Award-Winning Journalist Shares Lessons She Learned Shattering the Glass Ceiling

NEW YORK, Nov. 9, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Emmy award-winning journalist, Kate Delaney, today announced the publication of her book Deal Your Own Destiny: Increase Your Odds, Win Big and Become Extraordinary (available now). The book is published with ForbesBooks, the exclusive business book publishing imprint of Forbes Media.

"You can't just wish for things to happen; you have to make them happen." This is something sports journalist Kate Delaney understood well when she decided to take her fate into her own hands and tackle the obstacles she faced in the male-dominated world of sports radio.

In her new book, Deal Your Own Destiny, Delaney recounts her journey and makes it clear to readers that with tenacity, belief and sheer determination, one can stack the cards in their favor.

"In the beginning of my career, I was pretty much alone in my field as a female national radio sportscaster. It took a lot of self-confidence, as well as the support from others, to get where I am today. Although I've achieved much success, I'm still climbing that ladder and shattering higher ceilings as I go," said Delaney. "It's wasn't an easy climb, but along the way I found several basic principles that assisted me in my pursuits, and it's these insights that I look forward to sharing with readers in this book."

As a journalist, Delaney has conducted over 16,000 interviews with elite members of the sports industry including C-suite executives, entrepreneurs and Hall of Fame athletes, and she's used this experience to formulate key lessons for success and reaching for the stars. "To 'deal your own destiny,' you must believe in yourself on a grand scale, but you also need to have the discipline to learn, to do and to strive," said Delaney.

Deal Your Own Destiny is now available for purchase on Amazon.com.
