How Improving Self-Esteem Can Help Your Hudson Valley Student

Welcome Hudson Valley! This is Conor Walsh, host of In Touch, Townsquare Media of the Hudson Valley’s Award-Winning Public Affairs and Issues program.   

This week on In Touch, Chief Mater Gerald Dunn from Karate 4 Excellence returns! In the past, we have focused on martial arts being a tool to help promote bullying prevention, build self-esteem, give opportunities to those with special needs, and to strengthen the family dynamic. Gerald Dunn returns to give us more insight on the difference between confidence and self-esteem, and how having strong self-esteem leads to a solid foundation of success.

We invite you to join us and listen to a previously recorded conversation between Master Dunn and myself here on In Touch.
