WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?

When readers discover the distinction between self-worth and self-esteem, they often find the roots of their anxiety and insecurity. Freed from the tyranny of self-esteem, they discover a new lease on happiness and freedom.  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. 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.

IS THE SELF-WORTH SAFARI FOR YOU?

The Self-Worth Safari is for anyone looking for more energy, confidence and a deeper belief in themselves. This could include people in career transition, young professionals, independent professionals and leaders who want to inspire others. While the majority of the people in the pilot groups were aged between 25-45, some of the people who appreciated the shifts were also in the 50s and 60s.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Self Worth Academy CEO John Niland

Throughout 18 years of business coaching, I’ve often observed how a person’s relationship with themselves drives their behaviour towards clients, colleagues and peers. Like the proverbial iceberg, self-worth is the 80% below the waterline, driving a multitude of behaviours above the waterline.

Then, in the years 2015-16, I got a personal lesson in self-worth. One after the other, I was hit by a series of personal losses and suddenly I was that person self-preoccupied with the “Who-the-hell-am-I” question. Though I might have intellectually understood the difference between conditional self-esteem and intrinsic self-worth, I found I was certainly not living it.

The Self-Worth Safari grew out of my own struggles and the subsequent discovery that I was not alone. It has turned into the adventure of a lifetime: the realisation that no matter what is happening around me, I can always be a friend to myself.

Welcome to The Self-Worth Safari.
Best, John.
