“Confidence is about putting the need to like yourself over the need to be liked by others.”
There is nothing more important than your belief in yourself. Unleashing Potential is a 30-day confidence journal that pairs a short haiku with original photography by Chad Bock and reflection questions for each day.
Just 5 to 15 minutes of daily reflection helps you build authentic confidence: the courage to show up as yourself and for yourself, even when it feels risky. It’s for anyone who knows they’re capable of playing bigger but hasn’t fully believed it yet.

Unleashing Potential is truly inspirational! It even has the word, "confidence" written with white text with a fiery red background. The photography inside the covers hold strong artistic merits while encouraging readers to face adversity with internal strength. The language is concise, empowering, and easy to understand. Thank you, Justin Patton, for collaborating with Chad Bock (the photographer) to create a nonfiction book that offers hope and optimism in spite of the bleakness that can make life difficult.

Each of the 30 days has a haiku, a photograph, and reflection questions. Read the haiku twice, then spend 5 to 15 minutes reflecting. A weekly check-in follows every seven messages.
Anyone who wants stronger, more authentic confidence, at work or in life.
Yes. Confidence is not a fixed trait. It can be cultivated through self-awareness, self-acceptance, and intentional action.
