The gender confidence gap is real. So, what can we do? Katty Kay and Claire Shipman, authors of the book, “Living The Confidence Code” are here to empower the next generation of young women to make a difference in the world. The pair discuss the importance of role models who are real, and the pivotal cultural moment we’re in now for women’s leadership and representation. We talk about some of the best ways we can all give ourselves (and the women around us) a boost. In Mailbag, how to prevent identity theft, and how to manage a successful retirement when your partner has less saved than you do. In Thrive, how to escape your work-from-home productivity slump.
