ENERGY FOR TEAMS

“Being confident and believing in your own self-worth is necessary to achieving your potential”

 – Sheryl Sandberg

Key SWA Insights / Approach

 

Recognise that many people have lost the reference points that have defined their self-esteem

A fresh understanding of self-worth unleashes new energy and transforms how people behave (for example, in meetings)

While self-esteem often leaves people chasing validation, self-worth empowers them with the courage to focus on value

Your value depends primarily on usefulness – not evaluations, experience, skills or technology. Not even nice comments about you!

SERVICES FOR TEAMS

A deep sense of self-worth changes how people engage with each other. They bounce back from setbacks and are free to focus on being interested rather than trying to be interesting. Self-worth is a key that unlocks creativity, resilience and better team relationships.

In an age of AI and global upheaval, John helps people regenerate their professional identity from a foundation of self-worth—so that work strengthens identity rather than eroding it.

Identity regeneration is the work of reconnecting with what is most valuable and distinct about you, then bringing it more fully into your work, relationships and reputation. John’s approach helps people bring fresh value to life and work by:

  • communicating fresh insights rather than endless “me-stories”

  • replacing the need for validation with courage, confidence and creativity

  • turning the hunger for belonging into a deeper connection with oneself and others

  • building a reputation that opens doors, making work more sustainable and enjoyable

John is the author of The Self-Worth Safari and founder of Self-Worth Academy, an international community of practitioners exploring the power of self-worth.

His previous books include Hidden Value, Opportunity Conversations and The Courage to Ask, co-authored with Kate Daly. Since 2000, John has spoken at professional conferences and coached hundreds of professionals to grow their revenue and reputation through an approach grounded in professional identity.

He co-founded the European Forum of Independent Professionals and was previously CEO of Education for the Children, which works with families in Guatemala to help break the cycle of poverty.

John lives just outside Lisbon, after many years in Brussels, London and Ireland. He still talks about “settling down one day.”

“John’s deep insights about value have brought tangible rewards to our sales team: at least $4 million in the first three years. Self-worth enables sales professionals to achieve more.”

“The timing of this course coincided with a new job, a new project and an imposed quarantine (COVID-19), so not an easy period. The self-worth approach helped me to gain respect for my time. I can now exercise choice about how I take care of my attention, my work, myself. As a result, I have more energy and less anxiety. I am more focused and productive.”
