Breakfast Discussion: “The Confidence Gap”
On Friday, September 26 at 9:00 am in LSE 1004, BUWIC (led by Jessica Biagi) held a breakfast discussion on the April 2014 Atlantic Feature Article ‘The Confidence Gap’:

The feature was pieced together from excerpts of a new book by journalists Katty Kay and Claire Shipman, “The Confidence Code: The Science and Art of Self Assurance“. The authors argue that men are generally more self confident than women, and to succeed in the world of the workplace this confidence matters more than competence. Join BUWIC as we critique the article, discussing whether this argument has any merits in the field of science and if so how women can exert more confidence in the work place.
Thanks for coming out!
