Self-esteem for confident public speaking and presentations
Self-esteem has to do with liking who you are and making peace with that person. It is about having a good body image, believing in yourself and your own abilities and capabilities. It is about knowing and acknowledging that the only person you can ever be is yourself - and then working on being the best YOU that you can be.
