Headamentals is an actionable guide that helps leaders silence negative self-talk before it spirals into toxic team-talk. Doubt and mental spirals don’t just affect the individual; they ripple into miscommunication, stalled progress, and reduced confidence across the team. By tackling the root of the problem—the destructive internal “Monster”—leaders create space for clarity, focus, and more productive conversations.
Grounded in decades of research and coaching, Headamentals delivers practical tools through the 3-C Maverick Method: Catch, Confront, and Change negative dialogue. This concise framework empowers leaders to strengthen resilience, make decisions faster, and lead with confidence.
Filled with real-life stories, insights, and exercises, the book is designed for busy professionals who need immediate impact. The result is stronger leaders who model courage and create healthier, more effective teams capable of thriving.
