In this episode of The Business Book Club, we dive into The Confidence Code by Katty Kay and Claire Shipman, a powerful exploration of what confidence truly is — and how women in particular can cultivate more of it to thrive in leadership, business, and life. Drawing on research from neuroscience, psychology, and real-world interviews with successful women, Kay and Shipman reveal that confidence is not an innate gift, but a skill that can be developed through action and mindset.

The book challenges the myths that hold people back — including the perfection trap and fear of failure — showing that confidence grows not from overthinking, but from doing. Through engaging stories and actionable insight, The Confidence Code empowers listeners to take risks, trust their abilities, and stop letting self-doubt dictate their potential.

In this episode, we explore the science behind confidence, discuss practical ways to strengthen it, and unpack how belief, behaviour, and resilience come together to create lasting impact. Whether you’re building a career, leading a team, or pursuing personal growth, this conversation will inspire you to back yourself — fully and unapologetically.
