We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Ashley Shepard a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Ashley , we’re so excited for our community to get to know you and learn from your journey and the wisdom you’ve acquired over time. Let’s kick things off with a discussion on self-confidence and self-esteem. How did you develop yours?
When I was a little girl growing up I was always the shy quiet person I would not talk because I was afraid of how how people would judge me from my Speech impediment. When I would talk people would not understand the words & laugh My grandma told me when I’m talking to slow down block everyone out pretend it’s just me in the room. I started taking speech classes practice at home my family would work with me . The more I practice the better I got I notice if I talk to fast I start stuttering so I take my time speaking.
Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?
I want to focus more on helping kids modeling who are shy with low self esteem. I want kids to be able to have confidence in their self.
There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?
Make sure you kick all the negative people off your team if they not in your life to encourage you then you don’t need them. You want positive energy not doubt ppl.
Who has been most helpful in helping you overcome challenges or build and develop the essential skills, qualities or knowledge you needed to be successful?
My grandma has been my number 1 person since day one along with my parents sister just my all around circle.
