Backing Ourselves and Speaking UP
In all my IWD keynotes, I've shared a few key messages from my new book:
Back Yourself: Get out of your own way and take your spot in the world.
This book is for ALL people; however, it is fairly direct and is a quick read.
So if you are looking to create real, deep change in your life, then this book is for you.
What Does It Mean to Back Yourself?
Quite simply, it means placing all our bets on us.
From the moment we were born, we made an unspoken commitment to ourselves—to always look after us. We are the one person we spend every waking moment with, the one person we can always rely on. We are our own constant.
So why wouldn’t we be the first person we choose to back?
Backing ourselves isn’t just about applying for that job or starting a business. It’s about the choices we make every day—the ones that get lost in the busyness of life. Every moment in our one, precious life matters, not just the “big” ones.
And let’s be real—backing ourselves often feels uncomfortable.
It’s choosing to walk away from toxic relationships, even when it hurts.
It’s allowing others to feel uneasy around us, instead of shrinking ourselves to make them comfortable.
It’s standing in our power, rather than buying into the belief that we are powerless.
It’s putting ourselves first, even when caring for others tugs at our heart.
It’s resisting the urge to rescue, letting others sit in their own discomfort.
It's leveraging and amplifying our lived experience rather than hiding it.
It’s setting boundaries and refusing to take responsibility for how others react.
Above all, backing ourselves means giving ourselves a voice. It’s about speaking up.
Confidence isn’t a feeling—it’s a deep knowing that, no matter what happens, you will always have your own back.
If you're ready to step into your power, speak up, and get paid for the value you bring, join our monthly mentoring group. Together, we’ll build the confidence, skills, and strategies to make your voice heard—and valued.
Are you ready to back yourself and go all in on your ONE life?
Let’s do this—together.

Got questions about how to amplify how your organisation does leadership? One where leadership is based on "best" and not "good"?
