The Self-Worth Safari

“John gets to the heart of the deep lack of worth that afflicts so many people, even those who are unaware of the affliction. As a CEO coach, I often work with leaders who feel a relentless need to prove themselves and gain external validation. They oscillate between soaring self-esteem when the going is good, and sinking imposter syndrome when something is not going to plan. The greatest leaders operate from an innate sense of self-worth which enable them to focus on making betting choices and being of service rather than on the flashy deals or grand moves which, at their roots, are really more about ego than value.”
— Georgina Woudstra, founder and lead trainer of Coach Executive Studio and coauthor of "Coaching Global Top Teams" in Leadership Coaching: Working with Leaders to Develop Elite Performance

“An inspiring read for anyone grappling with issues of confidence or self-esteem. What often holds people back is not skill or education or network, but their sense of self-worth. Filled with wisdom and practical tools, this is a timely read in today’s world.”
— Kristin Engvig, founder and CEO of WIN and WINConference, a global platform for women’s leadership since 1997

“John’s deep insights about value have brought tangible rewards to our sales team: at least $4 million in the first three years. Self-worth enables sales professionals to achieve more.”
— Thomas Molnar, VP global sales, TOMRA Sorting Food

“Lord Chesterfield advised, ‘A man had better overvalue than undervalue himself. . . . Whatever real merit you have, other people will discover; and people always magnify their own discoveries, as they lessen those of others.’ In The Self-Worth Safari, John Niland beautifully expands on this sage advice. This is a compelling and action-oriented guide on learning to befriend and value oneself. Peppered with humor and story, this is a must-read for anyone struggling with how to value themselves or live up to their own expectations, creating a reputation with themselves of which they can be proud.”
— Ronald J. Baker, host of The Soul of Enterprise radio show and author of the bestselling Implementing Value Pricing: A Radical Business Model for Professional Firms

“The Self-Worth Safari shows you how to stop being a slave to your own self-doubt and anxiety, and ultimately discover more joy by becoming your own best friend.”
— Marshall Goldsmith, New York Times #1–bestselling author of Triggers, Mojo, and What Got You Here Won’t Get You There

“A fresh perspective on how self-worth is fundamental, at the core of every human being’s ability to be impactful.”
