How to Improve Self-Confidence!

Today is one of those days when your group has to make a presentation
to a client. This is an important occasion because it is an opportunity to
get your boss' attention. It could mean a raise or a promotion if you
could just muster the courage to stand there in front of these people
and present your proposal. The problem is, your shyness gets the
better of you, and you are relegated to the background.

You sat there mesmerized, as your colleague Elena made a winning
presentation of your proposal. She stood there, dressed in a simple
gray suit that spelled confidence! "Why can't I gather enough courage
to present my work to these people when I know this project like the
back of my hand," you ask yourself.

Self confidence. This is what you lack, and this is what your colleague
Elena has. But what is self confidence? Is it the ability to speak in a
loud voice so you can get people's attention? Is it about power
dressing?
