Publisher's summary

Build confidence and assertiveness in your professional and social life starting today!

Are you tired of riding an emotional rollercoaster, ping-ponging between days when you feel good about your body image, your social life, and your career prospects, and days where it all slips away?

Do you struggle during social situations to find the words to express yourself without getting aggressive or apologetic?

Do you watch the men at your workplace get promoted, get better assignments, and receive pay increases, even though you know that your skills and performance are just as good, if not better?

You’re in good company. American Psychological Association research indicates that the self-esteem gender gap is actually larger in Western countries than it is in other parts of the world.

More worrying still, while our social and professional lives are more and more defined by digital media, according to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, the digital world is still largely a male-space.

It’s not rocket science. You don’t need to buy into the self-help industry that siphons your time, money, and energy on expensive and often condescending life coaches and therapy sessions.

All you need are straightforward, personalizable exercises that will help you to build up your self-esteem, confidence, boundary-setting, and communication skills, a little bit every day.
