PARTNER OR SERVANT?

Why clients should not define your self-worth

One of the ways in which self-worth transforms professional life is how we manage clients. In order to be trusted advisers, it’s vital to form partner relationships, not relationships based on servitude.

In this session, specially tailored for agencies and consultants, you will learn:

  • Some of the behaviours that create servant relationships with clients
  • How to introduce yourself as a partner vs. a servant
  • The significance of self-worth
  • Some of the Do’s and Don’ts of review meetings
  • An introduction to value-based pricing (if time allows)
  • Managing difficult clients, growing key accounts

“My team and I worked with John over two online sessions around self worth and professional identity. As a remote-first team it can sometimes feel difficult to connect with each other but John’s sessions allowed us to solidify our bond, be heard and be seen. He was attentive to the needs of each team member and everyone left feeling much stronger, and much more confident in their abilities than when they went in. It was a joy to work with John and I would highly recommend working with him to anyone considering it. A real gem!“

ABOUT JOHN NILAND

Self Worth Academy CEO John Niland

John Niland is a Self-Worth Activist, advocating for deeper value of ourselves and others, to replace the current culture of conditional self-esteem.

A self-worth approach brings fresh value to life and work by…

  • Replacing endless self-assessment with new freedom and wellbeing 
  • Replacing the craving for validation with fresh courage, confidence and creativity 
  • Filling the hunger for belonging with a deep connection to self and others
  • Replacing stressful striving with joy

John is the author of the book “The Self-Worth Safari” and founder of Self-Worth Academy, bringing together an international spectrum of practitioners who share a belief in the power of self-worth. 

Previous books include “Hidden Value”, “Opportunity Conversations” and “The Courage to Ask” (co-authored with Kate Daly). Since 2000, he is well known as a speaker at professional conferences and has coached hundreds of professionals to grow revenue and reputation, via an approach based on professional identity.

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

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

Some of John’s key insights include:

  • Self-worth is the strongest foundation for resilience, confidence and self-belief
  • Most people have been educated in self-esteem, not self-worth. This often leads to constant anxiety and insecurity
  • When people shift to self worth, this dramatically changes their approach to career, communication and leadership
  • Self-worth is also a game changer in relationships, enabling much deeper connection
  • Self-worth is essential to successfully reinvent one’s professional identity and career in the Age of AI
