Short summary

What's it about?

Veteran journalists Katty Kay and Claire Shipman reveal a startling truth: confidence matters more than competence for success. Drawing from neuroscience research and interviews with powerful women, they expose the "confidence gap" that holds women back, not lack of ability, but the inability to turn thoughts into action. This isn't about positive thinking or self-esteem; it's about rewiring your brain through deliberate practice and authentic self-expression.

In this KitUP, you'll learn:

- What if your perfectionism is actually sabotaging your success?

- How can you stop overthinking and start acting?

- What would your life look like if you silenced that inner critic?
