Life Coaching helps you dispel your doubts & focus on your talents & well-being
What are confidence and self-esteem?
Self-esteem is that inner sense of self-worth, having a healthy self-image, valuing who you are without being dependent upon others for approval. This is the concept of the assertiveness right that underlines the ability to behave assertively:
“I have the right to relate to people without being dependent on them for approval”.
Confidence is to trust in your judgment, your abilities and professional competencies and have the ability to act in order to accomplish your goals in life. It is also how you present yourself, how you come across & so how others perceive you, as confident or unconfident.
In a nutshell, self-esteem is the human being and confidence, the human doing!
Ideally you will work towards having both self-esteem and confidence. While having innate self-esteem will increase your confident self-presentation, acting and behaving with confidence will also enhance your inner self-esteem. Together they comprise your personal power.
