I'd like to recommend some books that delve deeper into the topic of "control orientation", a leadership competency that will allow you to be the most powerful the leader you can be, separate from circumstances:
Achieve with Accountability: Ignite Engagement, Ownership, Perseverance, Alignment, and Change by Mike Evans
The Achievement Habit: Stop Wishing, Start Doing, and Take Command of Your Life by Bernard Roth
Extreme Ownership: How U.S. Navy SEALs Lead and Win by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin
Atomic Habits by James Clear
The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey
Confidence Playlist:
Additionally, I've curated a playlist of empowering songs that can uplift your spirits and reinforce your confidence:
Brave - Sara Bareilles
Confident - Demi Lovato
Nothing's Gonna Stop Us - Starship
Unwritten - Natasha Bedingfield
The Gambler - Kenny Rogers
My Way - Frank Sinatra
Confidence Affirmations:
To reinforce your mindset and boost your confidence, I've compiled a list of affirmations for you to recite daily:
I am choosing to take action rather than complain
I am taking responsibility for myself, my life, and my happiness
I am aware of my strengths and my weaknesses
I am willing to learn, change and grow
I am choosing to do what is best for me
I have everything I need to be successful
I stand up for myself
I am worthy of love, kindness and respect (most of all from myself)
I am strong and courageous, choosing to act in spite of fear
I envision and expect the best
I speak my truth with confidence
Remember, as you embark on this journey of (re)building confidence and taking ownership, accountability breeds response-ability. You have the power to shape your life, and I believe in your ability to create the future you desire.
Lastly, I invite you to sign up for more information on my online book launch for Superbloom: How to Bounce Back and Thrive Through Life’s Sh!t, in September, here. The first 10 registrants will be gifted with a one-on-one coaching session and a special VIP invite to my exclusive in-person book launch later this year! These opportunities will provide further support and guidance as you continue your personal growth and development. Together, we can empower you to become the leader of your life.
Thank you for being a part of our community, and I look forward to accompanying you on your journey of (re)building confidence.
In loving leadership,
Coach Jessica
