British confidence coach, motivational speaker, and Confident and Killing It podcast host Ogunlesi’s first book is a useful resource for those who want to gain more confidence, specifically within their careers. Each chapter focuses on an area in one’s life that one can have more confidence in such as: owning your strengths; fighting those negative thoughts (“the mean girl”); “perfectionism vs. procrastination,” and “bouncing back from a setback.” All the descriptions in the book contain interactive questions readers can respond to, such as listing strengths and developing positive self-talk. Ogunlesi gives examples of her confidence coach work with her clients in each chapter. This book is helpful for early career women or women in their 20s and 30s but is not limited to that age group only. The book contains solid examples to help readers become more confident.
VERDICT A solid addition to most public libraries’ collections.
