About the book:
This 10 steps can certainly change your life – both in private and at work. The challenges will keep on becoming easier and the implementation is getting more and more fun the more you gain success.
An introducing guidebook especially for women, which teaches you…
…the secret of real strong women, who know their value. Self-confidence itself has a lot to do with self-recognition and with the acceptance of one’s own personality. Self-confident people know their strengths but also their weaknesses. They are not in need of faking self-assurance. They can admit if they are wrong.
…to catch the inner critic inside you. Nobody is perfect, that shouldn’t be your deal. The inner critic comes up far too often. Praise yourself as often as possible.
…that you are not a child anymore. You can defend yourself. You can express objection and you can have a talk with others about their behavior. Moreover, you can get yourself proper help and you can ease with humor and your own charm.
…to look for ideals. They can for instance be a lady friend who can usually solve tricky situations with sovereignty. It is not about copying someone but it is important that you perceive yourself as an acting person and thus practice your skills and options to deal. Consider this method a game, which is great fun to you.
…that life requires us to stand up for ourselves. Standing up for oneself is at least as important as the readiness to help others. Who wants to stand up for himself, should know himself. After all, the way to a stable self-confidence leads through the recognition of one’s own skills and strengths. Learn to fuel your strengths.
…how to have the courage to be easy-going when handling things. Feel free to admit that you don’t know something and rely on the fact that you will be able to score with your special knowledge plenty more times. That makes you kind and human. Furthermore, it takes an enormous pressure off your shoulders.
…to allow yourself some time-off regularly. This is the best way to an easy-going attitude, self-assurance and sovereignty. The secret lies in the fact that you feel that it is worth spending time with yourself. Alone, but in loneliness.
…only to say “yes” if you want to say “yes”. You are not a child anymore and your mother can’t tell you what to do anymore. The management of your life is up to you, not up to others, who in other cases can control us through their requests and demands.
…how to call up your strengths. When in the past did you accept and handle a difficult task? Call up the feeling from back then, enjoy the success once again. Take this feeling with you into the new task – it will give you the strength and motivation to handle the new challenge
…to get yourself some back-up. Look for one or more people who confirm that you are allowed to stand up for yourself.
