Accepting responsibility and accountability for your own life — why leading yourself is the foundation of leading anyone else.

Self-leaders are everywhere, at all levels of any organisation or community — managers, front-line staff, entrepreneurs, mothers, wives, husbands and CEOs. Self-leadership means accepting responsibility and taking accountability for being the best version of ourselves in the different roles we play. It entails accepting responsibility for our outcomes, setting the direction of our lives, possessing the necessary tools to manage priorities and accounting for our abilities by constantly asking, “Is this the best I can be or do?” This book will help you internalise the two pillars of self-leadership — personal responsibility and accountability — so you can make meaningful, empowered choices while taking action towards your mission.

Lessons on managing emotions for success through turbulent seasons, and staying centred when life speeds up.

Our emotions influence our responses and reactions to change and to life's experiences. For many of us, formal and informal education never provided the skills to navigate the changes and challenges we encounter — but we can still learn them, at whatever stage of life we are in. Dr Mazhura learned this on the Nile River, rafting without prior knowledge but with a willingness to learn, and uses the river as a metaphor for daily life. The lessons drawn out in this book include: know your course; stay present; don't give power to external conditions; adapt purposely; keep tools and options; team with people creating the results you want; get out of obstructions as soon as possible; recharge; flow on purpose and live; and celebrate the unsung hero inside you.

Behavioural science specialist Dr Mavis Mazhura combines personal experience with a deep understanding of human emotions to show you how to create the life you want by harnessing your own creative tools — your emotions and thoughts.

Emotions are the anchors of thought and the invisible forces behind what we earn, spend and keep. The book shows how lingering emotions from the past sabotage financial outcomes, and gives tools to neutralise negative cellular memory and rewrite memories that support your financial goals.
