Kathi Sharpe-Ross Full Bio and Overview of Book
Jan. 28, 2024
I have been Reinventing my own life since I was eight years old when my parents pulled me out of school for six weeks and took the family on our first trip around the world. Having lived on three different continents, I learned at a young age how to adapt, try on new circumstances, make new friends, roll with the changes, create the tools to flourish in my world, and treat fear as an adventure. My new cultures, languages, and environments ranged from the posh suburbs of Melbourne, Australia, to the dirt-strewn roads of Herzliya Pituach in Israel during the 1973 Yom Kippur War to the plush and pristine neighborhoods of Beverly Hills, CA.
Years later, I realized perhaps I had a different perspective than others that enabled me to see the world through a particular lense. I realized I had a passion for storytelling and insights that could be shared with others, which is what my new book, RE:INVENT YOUR LIFE! WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? is all about.
As a female founder, 30+-year entrepreneur, and brand & lifestyle marketing guru, I am the CEO, Founder, and President of THE SHARPE ALLIANCE, a global marketing agency, and I have been helping brands and businesses Reinvent what they do and how they grow in this ever-changing global economy. I have made a living out of shaping and advising corporations and entrepreneurs across a multitude of industries on how to forge their path and evolve their brands through strategic and practical business initiatives. The agency focuses on sports, lifestyle, fashion, entertainment, wellness, events, music, and a multitude of industries around the world.
And now, I’ve channeled the same skills and passion that have driven my business into helping people Reinvent their lives. My intuitive and motivational personality was the catalyst to create The Reinvention Exchange – www.TheReinventionExchange.com – a media company developing and curating content based on the Reinvention Journey.
My first book – RE:INVENT YOUR LIFE! WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? debuted in March 2020.
My Podcast – THE POWER OF RE:INVENTION – launched two years ago, in January 2020, and is a great follow-up to the RE:INVENTION Virtual Chats that aired globally for a community of thousands throughout the pandemic and featured fantastic guest speakers from all walks of life.
RE:INVENT YOUR LIFE! WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? is a rare, insightful book that guides readers through the discovery of the whole self and empowers your courage and curiosity to Reinvent any or all parts of your life.
Filled with inspiring, anecdotal Reinvention stories from real people who have made real changes, it explores the realities of the 35 + age group who seek to re-discover their true selves while establishing greater balance and freedom.
RE:INVENT YOUR LIFE! WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? Share interviews and anecdotes from men and women at varying stages of the Reinvention process. They are from all walks of life with great personal, business, spiritual, relationship, health, medical, and life-changing stories that richly illustrate the power of Reinvention.
From Fortune 500 C-Suite executives, Entrepreneurs, News Anchors, and Editors to Homemakers, Single Parents, Exhausted Dads, Serial Re-inventors, and Burgeoning Artists, these stories motivate readers to redefine what they REALLY want to do with their one and only fabulous life.
The action-oriented, practical exercises provide readers with the 26 Power Tools to:
• Let go of fear
• Listen to your “Ah-Ha Moments”
• Discover that change creates opportunities
• Connect with yourself in a new way (or in an old way you may have forgotten)
• Identify and dismantle the excuses that keep you stuck
This book examines the fears that hold us back and the intoxication that comes with change and adventure, and ultimately, it grants readers the permission to explore their passions and achieve fulfilling lives. It identifies key life milestones that are, in fact, opportunities for Reinvention.
Whether it’s creative, professional, spiritual, emotional, or physical, Reinvention is possible within any realm. This is the consummate guidebook to getting started.
Reinventions come in all shapes and sizes.

We all face challenges, but looking back, would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
It’s been a fun and relatively smooth road – with challenges along the way that forced me to navigate, find solutions, be open, seek support, ask questions, and surround myself with great people that would be a part of my team and help me accomplish all that I was seeking to create.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about THE SHARPE ALLIANCE?
My company, THE SHARPE ALLIANCE was founded over 30 years ago. We have evolved from a PR firm, event production agency, and brand developer to a Business Development and Marketing agency that offers a multitude of services and has a lot of knowledge, experience, and relationships to represent a diverse client base.
Because we’re small and mighty, I make it my business to be a part of each client and account and also empower my team to make decisions and work closely with each other and our clients.
I’m proud of the history of the agency, the diverse client base, and the experience that we can offer our clients. I’ve worked on major global campaigns and historical moments in Sports, Entertainment, Technology, Real Estate, Family Entertainment and have many proud moments and relationships which I cherish to this date.
The moment I decided to create a book – RE:INVENT YOUR LIFE! WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? and the accompany podcast, THE POWER OF REINVENTION, I was excited to apply our years of expertise to a project and brand that meant so much to me personally and would impact thousands of people worldwide, inspiring them to also be able to fulfill their dreams and build their own companies or life events that they were seeking. The inspiration from the book, the interviews and stories, as well as the Power Tools throughout the book, provide incredible inspiration and motivation!
What matters most to you?
I love helping people bring their dreams and goals to life. I enjoy delving into their vision, their challenges and help build the solutions that will drive them to that end goal – be it business, personal, spiritual, hobbies, relationships, anything…
What matters most to be is being HAPPY, being with my family, inspiring others to live their best lives that they’re entitled to live.
