Sink, Swim or Float
Chapter 5 – Just Keep Swimming
Self support for those who have been dumped by life’s tidal waves.

Just Keep Swimming.
The Coaching Gurus
Chapter 12 – Cause and Effect
Rather than the generic “believe it and it will happen” discussion, this self support chapter offers a practical way to start changing your thinking no matter what you have been through. Because sometimes, you have to be tough on yourself to be as self supporting as you can when life smacks you in the face
365 Daily Affirmations
Various Dates
The funnest book I have contributed to so far. I chose my favourite sayings (affirmations if you like) and discussed them throughout this book. A little different, but equally valuable for getting your mind set on track each day of the year.
The Self Esteem Guide for Women
Chapter – Self Bullying: It’s a Crime Against Your Nature
This book is being re-released shortly. I believe that women can be cruel to themselves in ways they never would be towards a good friend. This chapter will discuss that phenomenon and offer some self support to kick that habit!
A Day in the Life of a Project Manager
Chapter
A collection of stories written by practicing project managers who desired to share their experiences associated with managing a project. The stories describe the activities, challenges, and encounters project managers must often resolve as they execute and control their projects.
Overcoming the Good Little Girl Syndrome
Chapter 1 – Good Girl Survival Skills
Practical guide to dealing with the word ‘NO’ and managing the reaction of others when you decide to put you first in your life. It is not about getting your hate on for others, but rather about getting the self support for you in top shape!
The Female Leader
Chapter 25 – The Secret Language of Men
The first ever piece of writing I completed that sent me down this wonderful rabbit hole! I was presenting at a Women’s Conference and as a first time attendee at something like this, was astounded to discover that there is apparently a ‘secret language’, or so it is thought. If there is, having worked with men most of my life, this would be the single greatest difference I see in men and women and their reactions to life’s smackdowns.
This self support chapter offers a really practical way to manage your stress and your thinking when it all gets too much for you.
And I caused a bit of controversy with my delivery, so was asked to present it again the next day. The Words of Bek are powerful!!
The Empowered Woman: Purpose, Passion & Possibilities
Chapter – A Jumbo Cup of Empowerment To Go…
This word gets thrown around so much, it is hard to know what it means- or if in fact it has meaning. I discuss my views on this word and with a little ‘tongue-in-cheek’ humour, offer a challenge to you…. that it is a verb, a ‘doing’ word, describing an action that results in a feeling of empowerment…
But don’t take my word that this is self support – read it and make up your own mind!
A must-read for women who wish increased confidence, personal and professional empowerment, and life purpose direction. Co-authored by 21 international coaches from six countries
The Power of Transformation
Chapter – Reinventing Your Life…
Having reinvented myself from domestic abuse survivor to a powerful woman in control of her own destiny, this is how I did it. A practical attempt to describe an almost inconceivable journey, this self support guide is an attempt to discuss the techniques I used to change my thinking, my actions, my life. I really didn’t like the one I was destined for as a result of my childhood, so I created me – the sum of my experiences – all of them. The ultimate in self support writing.
The Female CEO
Chapter xx – Thick Skin and Teflon Coating
A victim of domestic violence goes to work in the ultimate male dominated industry – engineering and construction!!! This self support guide talks about learning not to take things personally, being responsible for your own reactions, no matter what the people around label you, or do to you. Taking care of your mental state in times of high stress, while being triggered by your surrounds on a daily basis – well, I don’t recommend you try it – just read the lessons I learnt in this self supporting chapter.
Kind Words About Working With Bek
This book is an earthy, healing balm. Bek’s stories are authentic, touching – and most importantly – contain principles that can be applied by any person to any situation. In terms of both quality and usefulness, it is head and shoulders above the usual stuff you find in the much maligned ‘self-help’ genre.
