9 Secrets to Thriving
I have spent the past three years of my life researching those key strategies that make us resilient. I have travelled over 35,000 miles around the world to interview 50 of the world’s most resilient people. These are individuals who have faced radically different kinds of trauma but each of whom are thriving. I discovered the surprising truth that the same 9 key resilience strategies had enabled them not just to flourish in the face of adversity, but to thrive in the face of everyday challenges too. In my book ‘9 Secrets to Thriving’ I share the inspiring stories of the 50 Thrivers and their practical insights so that you can choose to thrive every day of your life too.
The True You
Do you feel as if you are not quite living up to your full potential, that you are overly concerned by what others think of you? Do you sometimes lack confidence, or feel overwhelmed by the demands of life or underwhelmed by its’ rewards? If any of that is true for you, The True You is the book for you!
Having coached hundreds of leaders over the past 17 years on goals related to their work and life, I’ve found that these feelings and tendencies usually come from living according to our conditioning, rather than living authentically. Being clear about who you authentically is the key to building confidence and self-acceptance and obtaining clarity about the contribution you are able to make at work, in life and your relationships. That’s the process I write about in The True You. I set out the steps for discovering who you truly are so that you can feel calmer, happier and more fulfilled.
I also share the golden rules for building great relationships with others, and how to overcome anxiety and fear and remain resilient for the rest of your authentically lived life.
