Overview
There’s that person you look up to – the one who seems confident in any situation; seems at ease when communicating at any level; and seems to be liked by all. You wish you could be like that, but it’s just not you. Having a better understanding of yourself - your strengths, as well as your areas for improvement - will allow you to start building your confidence to improve your communication and social skills.
