Description
Confidence is a greater predictor than competence of a woman’s career success, and earnings.
Confidence is the #1 thing women report they need to learn in order to be a leader and advance in their organization. Confidence is the #1 barrier that women business owners report holds them back.
Most advice about confidence for women gives women vague mantras like “think positive†or “believe in yourself, girlfriend!†This advice does not address the variations in the way women display challenges in their confidence - some women don’t speak up or go for next level opportunities because they are afraid of disapproval and failure. Others are go-getters and highly visible but tear themselves down with criticism. Yet other women react and take things personally if they don’t feel valued or approved of.
Many smart women are confused why they might be confident in one situation but self doubting in another. Similarly, its hard for women to understand why they are praised and appreciated – and know in their mind they are ‘great at what they do’ - yet still feel worthless inside.
Left with these questions, women simply blame themselves for their frustrations. Reinforcing the problem, they tell themselves they ‘should’ be less self critical, but don’t have a path forward to do so.
From 10 years of research at Harvard Medical School, business psychologist and women’s leadership expert Sharon Melnick, PhD helps women discover their Confidence Type. A woman’s type is the secret to understanding when she is confident, and when she isn’t – and why.
More importantly, the Confidence Revolution for Women book provides solutions specifically for each of the 4 types, and shows readers the fastest path from self criticism to self confidence.
The strategies in this book will help women speak up, take risks, lead boldly, and do so with less exhaustion and stress. The net is that each woman starts acting to make the contribution she has been put here to make. Dr. Melnick aims to create a Confidence Revolution so that women can earn more, lead boldly and create a culture in which we all want to live.
The stories and strategies Dr Melnick shares have electrified audiences of thousands of women as she has provided keynotes, workshops, and trainings for corporate women leaders and women business owners around the world.
