Self Confidence for Introverts in Politics with ESL

This is a very specific use-case in building self confidence for introverts who are non-native English speakers (ESL), who are getting their education and experience in politics in the United States.

Initial requests focused on building confidence speaking in front of groups and co-workers, staff meetings, classroom settings and on the phone.
