Publisher's Summary

Following the success of Lean In and Why Women Should Rule the World, the authors of the best-selling Womenomics provide an informative and practical guide to understanding the importance of confidence - and learning how to achieve it - for women of all ages and at all stages of their career.

Working women today are better educated and more well-qualified than ever before. Yet men still predominate in the corporate world. In The Confidence Code, Claire Shipman and Katty Kay argue that the key reason is confidence.

Combining cutting-edge research in genetics, gender, behavior, and cognition - with examples from their own lives and those of other successful women in politics, media, and business - Kay and Shipman go beyond admonishing women to "lean in". Instead, they offer the inspiration and practical advice women need to close the gap and achieve the careers they want and deserve.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Insightfully Relevant

I chose this book because I was in need of reassurance to ease the anxiety I’ve been feeling since recently taking a new direction in my personal and work life at the same time.

It has done a good just of providing me with guidance to feel more confident with my choices despite the risks I’m taking and the fear expressed by my family.

Go after your it, tap into your intuition and trust yourself. Thx ladies.

Third time listening to this❤️

Just a no nonsense reminder of some self limitations that can be lifted to bring in with confidence.

not just for women

Good book with a lot of information. A little too much research to listen to, but it substantiated what was being said.

Great Ideas, but a bit repetitive

I liked this book and would recommend it to a young female professional starting her career. It contains excellent points but I found the points repeated over and over. I was left feeling I wanted more depth. #Audible1

If you're a woman you should read this book

I wish I had this book 20 years ago! So much information and insight into how women hold themselves back. I wish there was a little more on the toolkit side of "here are some tools for confidence", but overall it was an excellent book. #Audible1
