Why is self-esteem so important? It impacts your decision-making, your relationships, your emotional health, your overall well-being. People with a healthy, positive view of themselves understand their potential and can feel inspired to take on new challenges. Our August guest speaker knows how valuable self-esteem is: Dress for Success Auckland South manager Jess McQuoid. We’ll also hear about a Wesley College reading programme that enhances self-confidence and we’ll be talking about what our organisations are doing to enhance self-esteem.
