Building a Life on My Own Terms
Beth Fisher is a speaker, author, business consultant, leukemia survivor, and pickleballer based in Grand Rapids with a passion for helping people overcome adversity. For much of her life, she wrestled with the gap between living up to others' expectations and showing up as herself. Today, she helps driven professionals—and the organizations they work for—close that same gap.
The work starts with one vital skill: learning to change your tone without losing yourself in the process.
As a certified leadership development coach, Beth has helped countless individuals identify what's been holding them back so they can show up authentically in their professional lives. Her coaching helps career-focused leaders be seen, heard, and appreciated in every room they enter—without compromising who they are.
The Business Side
In January 2020, Beth left a successful twenty-five-year career in sales and marketing, where she built her expertise implementing strategy and system solutions that automated business processes and drove organizational change. She went on to serve as Chief Advancement Officer and interim CEO for Mel Trotter Ministries, the largest provider of services to people experiencing homelessness in West Michigan. There, she combined her business acumen with her passion for serving the underserved.
Today, Beth actively consults with for-profit organizations and faith-based missions across the country as a business consultant, helping them increase fundraising and communication efforts through automated systems—including CRMs, workflows, marketing integrations, and organizational structures that actually work.
The Credentials & What's Next
Beth holds two master's degrees in Theology, founded her own consulting company, and is a certified leadership development coach. Her next book, Selection Process: How to Avoid a Loser Relationship, releases in February 2026. As an avid pickleball player, she continues to chase down balls and a 4.5 DUPR rating!
