Decoding Confidence: The Seven Habits of Confident Leaders
By Advita Patel
What if everything you’ve been told about confidence is wrong?
Confidence isn’t something you’re born with. It’s a skill you can learn, develop and strengthen.
In Decoding Confidence, Advita challenges traditional ideas about what it means to be confident and introduces seven practical habits to help you lead with greater courage, clarity and authenticity.
Through relatable stories, research-backed insights and practical exercises, you’ll discover how to recognise your strengths, overcome self-doubt and build confidence in a way that feels true to you.
Built around the BELIEVE framework, the book also includes a 30-day confidence challenge to help you turn what you’ve learned into everyday action.
Whether you’re stepping into leadership for the first time or looking to grow your influence, this book will help you show up with confidence without losing who you are.
“Decoding Confidence is perfect for anyone seeking to build their confidence as a leader. Advita has created a clear framework in BELIEVE, identifying key elements that create or undermine confidence, and addressing the many demands of modern organisational leadership. But what makes this book really stand out is its practical applicability. Embedded throughout the book are great tools and techniques that challenge and support in equal measure. I can tell that this is going to be my new go-to book, and I'll be recommending it as a must-read for leaders at all levels.”
Also available from Amazon, Waterstones, Blackwell’s and other leading retailers.
Building a Culture of Inclusivity
By Advita Patel and Priya Bates
Creating an inclusive workplace takes more than good intentions.
Building a Culture of Inclusivity is a practical guide for internal communication professionals, HR teams and leaders who want to create meaningful, lasting change.
Combining research, real-world examples and actionable tools, Advita and Priya explore how effective communication can help organisations move beyond performative inclusion and build workplaces where everyone feels valued, heard and that they belong.
From navigating conversations about diversity, equity and inclusion to developing strategies that make a genuine difference, this book provides the guidance and confidence to turn good intentions into meaningful action.
“This brilliant book is a must-read resource for every leader seeking to understand how they can bring positive, meaningful and long-lasting change to their working environment.”
