A leader suddenly hears how harshly she speaks to herself. Wanting help, she turns to her coach who gives her tools to build a practice of self-esteem.
The three self-esteem practices are:
- Self-Acceptance: Practice being FOR yourself
- Self-Worth & Happiness: Practice saying, “I am worthy of being happy”
- Live in Reality: Practice acknowledging what is and what is not.

Four ways to help you live in reality:
- Respect facts
- Respect facts about yourself
- Interpretations are not facts
- Feelings are not facts
