Personal Development

personal development is a subject that I take for second semesters program bachelor's degree in business insurance.

personal development related to how to improve self-esteem and a good performance. when I studied this subject, I can identify characteristics of individuals who have high self-esteem.
those with high self-esteem that usually confident of themselves, self-directed, decisive eager to express ideas, loving and lovable, assertive, and get along well with others.
they also accept themselves unconditionally, tolerate frustrations well and are willing to take calculated risk.

People with low self-esteem are generally shy, pessimistic, poor risk takers, non-assertive, indecisive, feel unlovable, lack self-acceptance, and "toxic" in their relationships with others.
when I studied this subject, little by little I can enhance my self-esteem. I can reduce feelings of shame in the other partner, dare express opinions and can also communicate well.
other than that, I can learn how to be good performer, become a effective leader.

Listed here how to enhance self-esteem.

1. Gaining Self-Awareness (Who am I?)
2. Learning Self-Acceptance (Loving Myself)
3. Taking Charge of Your Life (What Do I Want Out of Life)
