The article explores the systemic roots of the confidence gap affecting women in professional settings. It highlights how societal conditioning leads women to hesitate and second-guess their abilities, discouraging them from pursuing opportunities for which they are qualified. Instead of trying to fit into a more assertive mold, the article stresses that true confidence stems from self-acknowledgment and alignment with personal values. Understanding this can empower women to reclaim their voice and build authentic confidence through small, consistent actions.
Women often hold back from taking the next step, not due to a lack of skill, but because of systemic conditioning that creates a confidence gap.
The confidence gap is not a personal failing; it's a systemic issue where women are conditioned to be likable rather than assertive.
