In your career and work, finances, and indeed all areas of life, experience the transformative power of a key relationship-the friendship you have with yourself. In a world obsessed with building self-esteem-doing activities to improve our reputation with ourselves-our sense of well-being hinges on performance, the whims of good luck and positive outcomes. But when we don't measure up to our own tough standards, things don't go our way or life falls apart, we are called to access a deeper source of resilience, that of self-worth. In The Self-Worth Safari, author, speaker and business coach John Niland invites us on a powerful adventure to uncover this intrinsic state of value, which is ultimately untouched by changing fortune. Along the journey, seven self-worth shifts reorient our perspective. Through simple, practical actions, we train ourselves to step off the hamster wheel of self-esteem and onto the untrodden paths of self-worth. We move from a stance of self-reproach to self-acceptance; from constantly evaluating our performance to focusing on our usefulness to clients, customers and others; from a preoccupation with "being interesting" to finding interest in the people and circumstances around us. By applying these shifts through six key "terrains" of life-the body, relationships and family, career and work, money and status, friendship and environment and leisure-we develop a faithful ally in challenging times. We better rebound from setbacks, find new meaning in what we do and honour ourselves as a valuable member of any enterprise or team. An adept, highly knowledgeable and often humorous guide, Niland offers stories from his own life and from previous Safari participants to illuminate self-worth in action. Drawing on more than eighteen years as a business coach, he provides a proven path to self-worth, on which we learn to build confidence, trust ourselves, and take a new lease on happiness and freedom.
John Niland is best known as a conference speaker and coach with VCO Global (VCO-Global.com), focusing on supporting professionals to raise the value of their work and create opportunity through better dialogue with their customers and marketplace. John graduated in philosophy only to discover that his native Ireland had limited requirements for philosophers in the 1980s and that supply greatly exceeded demand. He hurriedly cross-trained into computer science and lived in disguise as a systems analyst/project leader for fifteen years, managing large pan-European projects for fast-moving consumer goods, retail, and petrochemical organizations until even the money could not induce him to continue. He then set up his own systems company and soon discovered how little he knew about managing people. The real learning began: how to develop business with people rather than for them. Since 2000, John has been coaching others to achieve success, with increasing misgivings about the value of this, until he discovered a passion for supporting those who wish to contribute rather than just to win and hence produce some real value: both social and economic. With trademark humor, he's a popular speaker at professional conferences on raising the value of work, value-centered selling, and negotiation. In parallel, John is one of the co-founders of the European Forum of Independent Professionals, reflecting nineteen years of coaching more than 600 professionals to create more value in their work. His books include The Courage to Ask and the ebooks Hidden Value and Opportunity Conversations (all available on VCO-Global.com). John is passionate about raising the value of professional services and inspiring contributors to find meaning in work. He currently lives in both Lisbon and London and still talks about settling down someday. SelfWorthAcademy.com
