Whether it's public speaking, taking on a leadership role, or asking someone for a date, there are situations in which we just don't feel equipped to handle the challenges we face.

Either way, in those moments you probably felt like something was wrong with you. And why wouldn&’t you?

But here&’s great news: All of that is a lie, and you are not alone in your struggles. Confidence coach Ashley Henriott knows what it&’s like to be identified by the opinions of others and to live a life dictated by what they thought of her. However, her determination to break free from those shackles led her to a profound realization: True confidence is an inside job that begins with a woman embracing her own uniqueness and worthiness. Through inspirational stories and her trademark humor, Ashley Henriott teaches about three confidence killers—fear, inaction, and comparison—that keep women from stepping into their true potential. Better still, she presents simple and practical strategies you can use to defeat these negative forces, embrace the beauty of who you are today, and live the fulfilling and confident life you desire.

The Confidence Myth
by Helene LernerSpeak Out, Step Up, Act NOWNot only do we need more female leaders at the top, but we need more women at all levels of business, government, and nonprofits to step up--there's no time to waste. The problem, says Helene Lerner, isn't so much that women lack confidence but that they misunderstand what confidence really is. True confidence isn't fearlessness; it's having the courage to jump in even when your knees are shaking. Any woman who waits until she feels 100 percent confident before offering a big idea or asking for a raise or promotion will never get anywhere. Drawing on her own and other female leaders' experiences, as well as on her survey of over 500 working women, Lerner lays out practical strategies for beating this confidence myth and overcoming obstacles like gender bias. The book features dozens of Confidence Sparks, simple but powerful exercises and techniques that can catapult anyone's career to the next level.
