"Act" as if you had confidence.
I have done this my entire life and people have always thought I had much more confidence than I have ever really had. I am in reality a very insecure person BUT when I am too nervous to do something I take a deep breath and say to myself, "Okay, how would a really confident person act?" Then I go and do it pretending I am that very confident person.
I hope this helps!

All you need, is believe in what your doing. You believe in it you’ll stand behind it and your confidence will grow. In my eyes a large ego can be harmful, I cant say Ive met a person who was egotistical that I liked.

I think having a good self esteem and having big ego are two different things. One translates to having a high opinion of yourself – which is very important; the other is usually associated with having a low opinion of others – which is not a good thing.
Some tips to have a good self-esteem:
1. Quit criticizing yourself – Watch for self-criticism; the moment you recognize it happening, pull yourself up short and stop it.
2. Quit criticizing others – Practice being easy on others, by not jumping at the slightest opportunity to put them down.
3. Speak your mind, and practice speaking loudly and clearly.
4. Develop a good body language – Look your best, stand erect, walk well, look in the eye.
