How to boost your self-confidence?

Well confidence comes from preparation. We always should have the mental ability to prepare well and be ready to speak to the audience. I'm a faculty at an engineering college and before, during my beginning classes I was nervous how the students would take me. But as time p assed, I gained confidence and now I can go into any class and speak to the students without any problems as I will be prepared and know that they are there to listen and not scrutinize me. bourne

The more we have such opportunity the best we become self confident. This can take time ; we could not acquire this faculty at the first. Second , i see that self confidence is related to our ability and our skill in what we are going to talk about in front of that audience.
