Prof. Roberto Ancis and Victoria Ancis. From Florence, Italy, Roberto moved to the U.S. in 1968 and attended Boston University, where he received a degree in physics.  He later moved to Cleveland, Ohio to work as a research scientist for 10 years.  In 1976, Roberto received an MBA degree at Cleveland State University, where having taken several courses in psychology, he became intrigued with human predictability and the human mind. Roberto then moved to West Los Angeles in California and in 1981 he founded a consortium of university professors to provide clients with strategic business development services and marketing program designs.  In 1981, Roberto also started teaching business development, marketing and consumer decision making psychology in the graduate programs of California’s second largest private accredited university.   Since 1981, Roberto, a public speaker (often called ‘Professor’ by his students) has addressed over 84,000 students and seminar participants and discussed how they could eliminate ineffective practices, to achieve personal success.  In his discourse with so many participants, the ‘Prof’ observed that (13) Thirteen Life Rules seem to yield personal and professional success and self-fulfillment.  These findings reflected in the magical book written with Victoria, The Journey of Choices ~ The City of Knowledge

In 1994 Victoria, an experienced coach and trainer, a creative graphic art technologist, and an impeccable advertising editor, joined Roberto’s strategic development and coaching consortium in West Los Angeles.   Victoria’s father was the publisher of a series of newspapers in Washington State prior to moving to California.  At a very early age in her life, Victoria inherited the importance of language and the power of written words, that has continued to this day in her life.  Victoria trained with one of the largest self- development organizations in the U.S. for several years, Victoria recognized and confirmed Roberto’s research and findings with regards to what ‘Causes’ people to succeed in their lives.    Victoria and Roberto were married in 1994.  Having moved from Bel Air in California to Sedona Arizona in 2006, inspired by these wonderful spiritual surroundings, Roberto and Victoria decided to write a ‘Magical’ Instructional Fantasy story, called The Journey of Choices ~ City of Knowledge where animals and trees speak, and where good defeats evil, with the (13) Thirteen Rules of the Game of Life embedded in the contents of The Journey of Choices ~ City of Knowledge story.  While Roberto’s observations and research drove the content of The Journey of Choices ~ City of Knowledge book, Victoria’s impeccable organizational and graphic skills converted the original text draft into a book that is now shared with the public.  With two Volumes I – II and 111 custom color pictures in each of the books. ~ Volume I -II

Cathy Fyock, CSP, SPHR, SHRM-SCP is The Business Book Strategist and works with professionals and thought leaders who want to write a book as a business development strategy.  She is the author of eleven books, including—On Your Mark: From First Word to First Draft in Six Weeks, Blog2Book: Repurposing Content to Discover the Book You’ve Already Written, and with coauthor Lois Creamer, The Speaker Author: Sell More Books and Book More Speeches. Her book, Authority, is an anthology about the power of authorship and was a Wall Street Journal bestseller. Her newest book is My New Book: The Upcoming Message that will Change the World. Since beginning her business in 2014, she has helped over 200 professionals become published authors. She believes that we all have a purpose, and that our stories are the way in which we share our truth with others. She is certain that authors can and do change the world, one word at a time.
