How to develop courage

• Say one thing about yourself or express one genuine opinion every day.
• Next time you catch up with a friend, tell him or her about a challenge you're dealing with in your life. 
• Practice looking people in the eye when you speak to them.
• When you make a mistake own up, apologise.
• Ask someone for what you need or ask for help instead of forging on by yourself. 
• If you meet someone you enjoy being with, be the one to ask them for a coffee instead of waiting for them to ask.
• Get out of your comfort zone and try new activities through which you meet new people.
• Offer to take up a challenging project at work that stretches your skill level.
