About this listen
Following the success of Lean In and Why Women Should Rule the World, the authors of the best-selling Womenomics provide an informative and practical guide to understanding the importance of confidence - and learning how to achieve it - for women of all ages and at all stages of their career.
Working women today are better educated and more well-qualified than ever before. Yet men still predominate in the corporate world. In The Confidence Code, Claire Shipman and Katty Kay argue that the key reason is confidence.
Combining cutting-edge research in genetics, gender, behavior, and cognition - with examples from their own lives and those of other successful women in politics, media, and business - Kay and Shipman go beyond admonishing women to “lean in.” Instead, they offer the inspiration and practical advice women need to close the gap and achieve the careers they want and deserve.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Useful insight
I received feedback from a senior leader in my organisation that I have skills but I lack confidence.
An article by the authors stood out when I googled confidence and so I thought I'd give this book a try.
The reader for me doesn't sell the content and at times almost drones. I would have rathered the authors narrating themselves.
I also found on occasion I tuned out due to the scientific angles, that said it does all come together at the end.
I have and will recommend this book to others and the thoughts around parenting were really helpful too.

Really interesting and helpful
An ideal book for those who are struggling for confidence, are looking to set up a business or get ahead at work. It helps you understand why and where a lack of confidence/ self assurance comes from. It's focused on women but I think it would be a great read for men too. On top of this understanding they give you great tips and ideas to help compensate for it and also ideas for raising girls in a way that will help cope with the cultural tendencies that encourage a lack of confidence in women.

Great content but a bit stereotype driven
Great content, well thought through, but a bit to much women are this men are that. Enough to learn for everyone.

Very good but repetitive towards the end
I learned a lot throughout this book, but by the last three or four chapters I felt like nothing new was being presented. However, the initial chapters were very informative and worth listening to. I found the reader's performance engaging.

Loved it!
It wasn't exactly what I was expecting, a step by step guide with the typical tips you get, but I think it was what I actually needed. A proper insight into the science and art of self-assurance that allows you to build your own brand of confidence. Definitely a top recommendation.

A must read for all women
Whether in business or not, this is a must read for all women. Based in quality research, this book gives plenty of tips on how to improve your confidence and that if those around you(kids and adults). It should be a must read in school and college!

A book I wish I read 20 years ago!
I’ve had feedback before from bosses “you need to address your confidence”. No one had any solutions.
Great book, great listen. I will be coming back and recommending this for sure!

Interesting
The book itself is interesting and a lot of research has been done by the authors.
The person reading the audiobook could have also done some research into pronouncing names properly. She clearly gave herself license to pronounce them just as she felt like.
Her voice and accent were irritating.
