Phoenix, AZ -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/06/2015 -- Two extraordinary guests are lined up for the next episode of Deanne DeMarco's fast-paced radio show "Today's Inspiring Women."

First up will be ABC's WLS-TV/ Channel 7 Sports Anchor Dionne Miller, who became the first woman sports anchor / reporter to crack the sports desk at Chicago's top-ranked station. Dionne will be sharing how she navigated her career path and what she did to be taken seriously in sports reporting. The second guest is an equally as motivating role model for women— Jane Hight McMurry whose best selling book Navigating the Lipstick Jungle which for the last two years ranks in the top 1% of all books listed on Amazon. This best selling author will be sharing tips on how women can navigate and get the career they want and deserve.

Both women are slated to appear next Thursday, May 7, during Deanne DeMarco's weekly hour-long program on the VoiceAmerica Empowerment Radio network.

Dionne Miller, Sports Anchor and Reporter for WLS-TV channel 7, is an ABC owned-and-operated television station located in Chicago, Illinois, United States. The station is owned by the ABC Owned Television Stations subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company.

Dionne's life today is a far cry from her Ohio childhood, a pastors daughter, she attended a small Christian liberal arts college to become a teacher. Dionne says, "Sunday was all about God and football, at the age of 9, I wept as John Elway drove 98 yards in five minutes to finish off the Browns AFC championship game." Sports wasn't her intended career. She switched from education to journalism and during that time she was put in front of a camera and was hooked… a star was born.

Deanne DeMarco, who has twenty successful years as an executive coach and professional speaker, said, "From her early childhood Dionne was a true sports fan. She's cried, cheered and booed, however that AFC Championship game in 1986 changed her life."

Dionne Miller has entered a man's sports world. In her career she has covered rodeo in Montana, college hockey in Vermont to Big Ten sports in Ohio. A lifetime of breaking professional barriers was epitomized by her getting hired as Sports Anchor/ Reporter for ABC in Chicago to cover all things Chicago sports- Bears, Bulls, Blackhawks, Cubs, and White Sox, and becoming the first women to crack the sports desk.

Jane Hight McMurry is the best-selling author of several books including Navigating the Lipstick Jungle: Go from Plain Jane to Getting What You Want, Need, and Deserve which for the last two years consistently ranks in the top 1% of all books (8 million +) sold on Amazon. She is internationally recognized as a women's leadership expert.

" I will be asking Jane to share some of her success tips for our audience" DeMarco said. " I will also be asking her what mistakes women make that can cost them the job or promotion." Jane McMurry's Socially Smart® tips were broadcast throughout The People's Republic of China as the Chinese prepared to host the 2008 Olympic Games. Her background includes studying at Oxford University and teaching at UNC-Chapel Hill and UNC-Wilmington.

Deanne DeMarco who is a communication expert said, " I am very excited to have these two guest on the show. Two very remarkable women Dionne who has broken the mold as the first female sports anchor and Jane who will give us tips on how to break through. This is going to be a great show."
