Improve your Self Esteem and Development and feel the change in you You may think of it as your inner voice - the voice that tells you whether you are good enough to do or achieve something. If that is the case then you are suffering from lack of self esteem and self development. Self-esteem is about how we value ourselves, our perceptions and beliefs in who we are and what we are capable of. Our self-esteem can be misaligned with other people's perception of who we are. Self development is a lifelong process. It is a way for people to assess their skills and qualities, consider their aims in life and set goals in order to realise and maximise their potential.
