The Impact of Confidence: 7 Secrets of Success for the Human Side of Leadership

Confidence is a much sought after, yet rarely understood trait. It’s fundamental to success in most of our endeavors. But rarely is a path to becoming more confident laid out so clearly. Tim reveals such a real-world, everyday path, drawing from vast leadership and coaching experience to share the stories of real people as they stepped into their confidence, bringing to life the lessons you too can use.  And, as someone who has spent my career teaching and training coaches, I appreciate how Tim incorporates an educational and application component at the end of each chapter to ensure you will walk away with clear steps and tangible outcomes.

What Tim has captured in this book aligns perfectly with my vision of success for my clients.

In my journey from corporate marketing executive to international keynoter and consultant, I've faced many challenges, many fears... some successfully and others not so much. What I now know is that each of us has an opportunity to be a great leader, to be the CEO of our lives, to grow and to stretch and achieve dreams beyond our wildest dreams, and Tim's book is the map that charts that journey. Each chapter delivers a critical life-lesson wrapped in a relatable story that will inspire you to action. I was particularly moved by Tim's exploration of self-trust as a means to move forward... a powerful lesson I continue to learn over and over. My life's purpose is to teach people how to generate demand for who they are and what they do, and that can't happen without confidence; this book is officially on my recommended reading list going forward.

As leaders, we employ our knowledge and our relationships to build our organizations. Building, sustaining, and repairing relationships call on us to be aware of our own energy and passions, as well as those amongst the members of the team in which we work. Tim Ressmeyer's coaching has been so valuable to me as a leader in building relationships and helping our team thrive. As I read Tim's book, I see his voice and style come through. This book is an excellent resource for leaders wanting to develop their own skills while managing a host of complex interactions and career transitions.

I am confident that the reader will be blessed, challenged, and affirmed by digging deeply into Tim’s new masterpiece! It is personal, professional, passionate, poking, and provoking. His writing style is such that I felt like I was having a personal conversation with the author himself! Unlike some “Leadership” books, this resource is not just theories, quotes, and “how to’s” for the professional consultant and executive, but is also a practical resource for the parent, the pastor, the educator, and to all others who want to make a difference in this world of today. Thanks, Tim, for the impact your life and writing has had and will continue to have on people like myself, and on so many others. And one more thing: I’d like to add one more “Secret of Success” to your list of Seven – and that is for us readers to tell others about your new book so it will not remain a “Secret” very long!
