Self-esteem is how we value and perceive ourselves. This is internal to us, how we think of ourselves. However, those thoughts are affected by how others speak of us and treat us. You can affect someone else’s self-esteem. It’s our job as leaders to build others’ self-esteem up.

I had shared my book “The Story In Your Head” with my relative who is serving time in prison. He was in the process of getting a degree in project management where he would be leading others and I thought my book would be helpful to him. After reading the book, he passed it on to other inmates he thought might benefit from reading it. The letters I received were from those inmates he shared my book with.

It all begins with an idea.
