Decoding Confidence: Why and How to Raise Self-esteem in Employees?

It was a challenging project.  Five people from the most backward part of Nepalese life because they were Dalits, from remote areas but mostly because they were ‘poor things’ or in Nepali ‘Bichara’ , yet promising, with a sparkle of hope inside, showing in their eyes, were taken in as interns in a big INGO. …
