What’s it about?

Who wouldn’t want a little more confidence? When it comes to attempting a new hobby, giving a captivating speech, or asking for a well-deserved pay rise, it’s often a lack of confidence that holds a person back. What’s interesting is that most men seem to have bags of it, while women are often burdened with self-doubt. From childhood, it is common for young girls take time to overthink their actions, whereas their male counterparts jump straight in, without fear of failure. From kindergarten to college, girls consistently outperform boys throughout their academic careers, yet when they enter the workplace, they earn less money, are promoted less frequently, and move more slowly up the career ladder. Women have made incredible progress in business over the last 50 years, but in the United States, a mere 4 percent of the Fortune-500 companies are led by female CEOs. This has nothing to do with the capability of women, and absolutely everything to do with their levels of confidence.

The Confidence Code explores how we can close the confidence gap between genders that is preventing women from flourishing and living up to their full potential. Learn which qualities and abilities confident people possess that the rest of us can improve upon to become more assertive ourselves, and understand the effect of differences between the male and female
