Featured Interview With Bridgette L. Collins

Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
Happy New Year! My is Bridgette L. Collins. I was born and raised in Houston, Texas. I lived in the Dallas, Texas area for nearly 20 years, and now I’m back living in the Houston area. My hobbies include reading, visiting historical museums when I’m traveling, experimenting with cooking healthy meals, working out at the gym, and training for and participating in marathon race events. As I’m moving around interacting with people I meet on my varied journeys, I used the experiences to enhance my writings.

At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
My fascination for reading books happened in my young adulthood. I fell in love with all books by John Grisham. Early on in my human resources career I pursued resources that would help me enhance my business and leadership skills, so I then fell in love with books by Stephen R. Covey and John C. Maxwell. As a human resources professional, I was always tasked with writing. Developing or revising human resources manuals, policies, and procedures. Writing extensive investigative reports. Writing staff and organizational performance documents. But it would be later in my life that I would develop a love for writing books. After becoming a personal trainer and running coach, I developed a love for writing novel-like self-help books filled with stories about overcoming the challenges to live healthier: mind, body, and soul.

Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
Because I’ve always been focused on being a better version of myself, my favorite authors include Stephen R. Covey and John C. Maxwell. Their writings have inspired my writings as I provide a different perspective on what being a better version of one’s self can look like.

Tell us a little about your latest book?
My new book, “Yes! I Am Fed Up. Now What? 4 Self-Driven to MOVE Your Well-being and Work Forward”, lays the groundwork for the reader to analyze the root cause, the underlying factors, of their fed-up state. The goal is to provoke consciousness and inspire the reader to ask the question, ‘Now What?’ And then move forward with creating an action plan to respond to their ‘Now What?’

Quick Question. Have you ever been FED UP with someone or something in your personal or professional life? Maybe you didn’t say FED UP… maybe you said I’m frustrated with or tired of. The fact is that if you’re not conscious of or deliberate in your move from that state of being, you’ll find yourself stuck right there on FED UP, frustrated with or tired of, which will impact your ability to BE the best version of yourself.

In my new book, I share 4 steps that provokes consciousness and will help drive your “Now What?”. Those 4 steps – Self-Analysis, Self-Transformation, Self-Evolution, and Self-Narration – provide insight into plans and actions you can take to analyze the aspects of your life that you’re not happy with or unfulfilled in – plans and actions that can help you discover ways to transform your state of being so you can evolve and create the narrative you want to represent your life.

While reading the book, I want you to keep four words in your thoughts: master, omit, visualize, and execute (MOVE). When I say MOVE, my book serves as a guide for how you can master, omit, visualize, and execute the things you need to master, omit, visualize, and execute so you can be the best version of yourself.

There are exercises throughout the book. Targeted worksheets at the end of the book to help you go under construction to determine what your MOVEs can look like. Yes, under construction because most often you have to unearth some things to repair, replace, and reconfigure so you can effectively drive yourself and MOVE forward with purpose and intention.
