Now that the Candy's Gone: Mastering the Art of Self-Confidence

English was not my first language, so I struggled in school. My report cards always read the same: “Nice kid, isn’t going to amount to much.” One day, out of desperation, my mother sent me to school with candy to help me make friends. It worked like a charm - until the candy was gone that is. That is when the “friends” disappeared. That’s also when I realized that I was on my own to figure things out.

What began as a journal to help me process challenging experiences in my life and career evolved into a reflective memoir and how-to guide to empower others. I delve into the limiting beliefs that we frequently face in life and share key strategies to develop an area overlooked: emotional intelligence. Some of the intended take-a-ways:

  • Improved self-esteem
  • Diminished Imposter Syndrome
  • Reduction of limiting beliefs
  • Enhanced emotional intelligence

What People Are Saying:

"I absolutely loved this book! I wish I had read it years and years ago. I related to so many of the stories that brought this author to her amazing success. This book made me realize so much and gave me the encouragement and insight to reach for things that I felt in the past that I shouldn't or wasn't deserving of. I also love how the message of "it's ok to fail" is explained as something that is necessary if you are to succeed. We're not often taught that failure is a positive thing. And this book has made the thought of failure less scary and more encouraging. I know now it will just bring me closer and closer to what I want. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who's just starting to think about their career, or someone already established but wants more out of their life and/or career.
