How to build self confidence?

 Mel lacked confidence and had a reserved personality. She used to take time and make friends and was an introvert. As this was the case, she often was tense when she had to give interviews and make public speeches. She used to read books on self confidence and how to gain it but that was not effective in her case.

Her sister, Marie thus decided to set her up with counseling sessions to help her boost self confidence. Mel worked at a coffee shop and was scared of facing the customers and speaking to them. She was warned many times on how that would affect her career negatively. However, she was good at making coffee and muffins so used to prepare food and cakes rather than interact with customers to take their orders or to serve them with food. 

Marie spoke to Mel on how increasing self confidence by attending counseling sessions would help her in all aspects of life. Mel decided to take this seriously and attended counseling sessions. 

Within a month to everyone's surprise at the coffee shop, Mel requested to let her take orders from the customers. The manager was happy and gave her this opportunity but kept an eye on her. However, she did a great job and served the customers with a smile. She even gave free muffins to one of the customers who had to wait for a bit long for their food which made them very happy. 

Within a span of three years, Mel was promoted and was made manager of the bakery that had opened its new outlet in another area.

Never hesitate to ask for help if needed. Some might lack self confidence and it's very important for them to know how to build self confidence. They can take the help of books and people around them. If none of those works out, they can always seek for professional help. 

Have a great day and stay strong :)
