Born in L.A.—lower Alabama, that is—Lillie Brock took the country road to the city, studying psychology and education as an undergraduate and graduate student before devoting herself full time to corporate training, work that has brought her to cities all over America and throughout the world.

A sought-after keynote speaker and gifted facilitator, Lillie has years of experience assisting organizations in the business and nonprofit sectors to develop and integrate productive change. Former national president of Citizens Against Crime, on behalf of which she taught personal protection to members of hundreds of organizations nationwide, Lillie is coauthor of The Secret to Getting Through Life's Difficult Changes. Her professional background also includes work as an educational therapist for emotionally disturbed children.

Lillie's passion for helping others led to a significant life and professional change of her own: a decision to enter ministry full time. An elder in her denomination, she is currently pursuing a graduate divinity degree at the Episcopal Divinity School in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Lillie lives in Dallas, Texas, with her family.
