Hollywood, CA – October 28, 2025 – Distinguished Combat Veteran, strategic coach, and bestselling author Cristina Solis Wilson was recently named Author of the Year (Self-Help Category) at the prestigious International Impact Book Awards, held earlier this month in Hollywood, California.
The 2025 ceremony marked the inaugural year of the “Author of the Year” recognition, making Wilson the first recipient of this historic honor in her category. The award celebrates authors whose work inspires positive transformation and empowers readers worldwide.
Wilson’s acclaimed book, Finding Your Why: A Path Towards Finding Your True Purpose in Life and Your Journey of Self-Discovery, continues to resonate with readers seeking clarity, confidence, and purpose. Her message of resilience and personal empowerment, rooted in over 26 years of U.S. Army service has positioned her as a commanding voice in leadership and personal growth.
The Hollywood event also celebrated the official launch of The Impact Leaders, a powerful anthology co-authored with Kevin Harrington from the original Shark Tank. In her chapter, Wilson draws on her military experience to teach the principles of purpose, direction, and motivation, offering a roadmap for those leading teams or navigating life’s toughest battles.

“This recognition isn’t just about me; it’s about every person who’s ever faced adversity and still chose to rise,” Wilson said. “Stories create impact, and I want every reader to walk away knowing they have the power to command their life.”
Wilson’s growing body of work extends through her leadership firm, CM Institute of Leadership, and her nonprofit, Crossroads Leadership Academy, where she mentors and trains emerging leaders. Her Command Your Life philosophy continues to inspire individuals and organizations to lead with authenticity, courage, and purpose.
