Download The Confidence Myth: Why Women Undervalue Their Skills, and How to Get Over It AudioBook Free
Not merely do we need more female market leaders at the top, but we need more women by any means levels of business, authorities, and nonprofits to step up - there is no time to waste. The problem, says Helene Lerner, isn't a lot that ladies lack self-assurance but that they misunderstand what self-assurance is really. True self-assurance isn't fearlessness; it's having the courage to leap in even when your knees are shaking. Any woman who waits until she feels completely confident before offering a big idea or asking for a raise or promotion won't get anywhere. Drawing on her own and other feminine leaders' experiences, as well as on her study of over 500 working women, Lerner lays out useful strategies for beating this confidence misconception and overcoming road blocks like gender bias. The publication features a large number of Assurance Sparks, simple but powerful exercises and techniques that can catapult anyone's profession to another level.
