Step Into Your Full Potential

In a world of constant change, leaders are overwhelmed, stretched thin, and expected to perform at their peak under relentless pressure. 

The Self-Reliant Leader is your guide to mastering the internal game of leadership—because the strongest leaders are those who first master themselves.

The Self-Reliant Leader is a powerful roadmap to achieving leadership success without sacrificing your well-being. 

Drawing from the philosophies of iconic leaders like Paulo Coelho, TD Jakes, Oprah Winfrey, Joel Osteen and Jim Rohn, this book unpacks the principles of self-mastery, resilience, and strategic thinking that separate extraordinary leaders from the rest.

Leaders are not just born—they are forged through self-discipline, personal growth, and the ability to navigate challenges with wisdom. This book provides timeless lessons on self-leadership, emotional intelligence, and overcoming adversity. 

It also addresses a crucial issue often overlooked—how leadership stress, workplace dynamics, and personal sacrifices can lead to burnout.

Through compelling stories, deep insights, and actionable strategies, The Self-Reliant Leader helps you build a solid foundation of self-reliance, emotional strength, and unshakable confidence. 

Whether you are an executive, entrepreneur, or aspiring leader, this book will empower you to step into your full potential, set an example for others, and create lasting impact.

This Book Is For:

  • Corporate leaders who feel the pressure of high-performance expectations
  • Entrepreneurs & business owners who need to stay resilient in the face of uncertainty
  • Aspiring leaders looking for a blueprint to success

Message From Christy

Leadership is HARD. People often glorify leadership and somehow we all aspire to the senior levels and then when we reach "the top" we are so battered and bruised from the battle that it doesn't FEEL like success.

No one really talks about the mental, physical, and emotional sacrifices leaders make in the pursuit of success. The strained relationships and missed family events. It's hard and their is a tremendous pay off, that isn't worth it in the end to many leaders.

A hostage to golden handcuffs and the duty to lead, many leaders suffocate in their success with no one who can empathize with someone who has it all. I've been there and it's an agonizing existence with the polarity of loving a career, and not enjoying the success in my personal life.

When I resigned with three years left to retire with a full pension and then proceeded to catastrophic burnout, it took me four years to recover mentally and seven years to recover financially.

While recovering from a mental collapse, I studied noteworthy leaders and learned they all had struggles and no one rode to success on a magic carpet.

The insight in this book gave me so much peace in the challenges I endured and it saved my life. I hope it does the same for you.
