Fact: Confidence is Key

"Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life. Make the most of yourself by fanning the tiny, inner sparks of possibility into flames of achievement."
- Golda Meir

Confidence affects everything: the way we present ourselves, our self-image and what we're capable of achieving. A recent study in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology found that the much discussed 'confidence gap' isn't limited to the United States - it's worldwide, but the gap seems to be more pronounced in Western cultures. A recent Forbes article explored this study and discussed the effect that this disparity has on women's career progression, salaries, and overall well-being.
