About the author:
Derek T Freeman is the author of Building Unstoppable Self-Confidence for Teens.
His work aims to inspire tweens, teens, parents, and families by providing motivational content and guiding them through the years that are often seen as the most challenging parts of both parenting and growing up.
As a young teenager, Derek struggled with self-esteem, bullying, and fitting in. Moving schools at the age of 13 threw him into a period of isolation and victimization, which knocked his confidence and made his adolescence very difficult. Although his experiences didn’t affect his success or happiness as he grew up, as his children have gotten older, he’s realized the importance of empowering young people and their families to navigate the sorts of challenges he faced. He has attended countless groups and school functions and, along the way, has realized just how common his school experiences are. He is determined to make the turbulent waters of adolescence easier to navigate for other young people.
Derek is a musician by trade and toured the US for nine years after graduating high school, releasing six albums before the birth of his first child. He then moved into the restaurant business, managing a small team for over a decade. He has two daughters, aged 10 and 12, and a 13-year-old son.
Derek was born and raised in New York and currently lives in Connecticut with his wife, three children, and two cats.
About the book:
You already have the key to unlocking your real personality and fearlessly creating your authentic life free of labels and comparisons – you just need to be shown how.
Labels and comparisons stop you from being your real self.
You try to live up to an ideal - to be like the teen you think is smarter, better looking, and more popular than you…
And when you do that - when you try to be something you’re not - you’re living under false pretenses.
This is when the domino effect kicks in: you start to live in fear that someone may find out who you really are. It wrecks your self-esteem, personal power, and any belief that you deserve much more.
That’s a lonely place to be and no way to live your life, right?
But it doesn’t have to be that way.
Whether you’re a nerd or a jock, an overachiever or an underachiever, a loner or an outcast - that is not your entire identity. It’s just one tiny part of the vast YOU.
With the help of this book, you can uncover the whole, wonderful person within and, from that, create an incredible life on your own terms.
Here are just a few of the things that you will discover inside:
5 simple steps to find your uniqueness and embrace the amazing personality you didn’t know you had
How you can get rid of the negative beliefs about yourself and get your self-confidence back
4 things you can do to escape the comparative trap and live from your authentic self
How to be the “ruler of your kingdom” and keep the people you want inside your castle walls…and the others out
How following the example of The Three Musketeers will manifest in miraculous ways in your life
6 effective ways to stop a bully in their tracks
7 celebrities who overcame all odds and dominated through their individuality
The “1 in 60” rule that will change the way you think about failure
How you can find your passion and be your own “Personal Legend” like Santiago in Paul Coelho’s “The Alchemist”
How to stop being a victim of body shaming and love who you are
And much more…
This isn’t just another workbook to add to your already overloaded schedule. It’s your new toolkit for confronting all anxiety and self-doubt - and your formula to rise triumphantly from it.
Discover how to be truly self-confident and boldly bring your inherent magic to the light.
