Confidence is faith in our abilities and ourselves. Courage is going forward even when we don’t feel that faith. We talk a lot to women about their finding more confidence, but it’s time we put more attention on courage, on taking action in the absence of certainty that we can do a task well. Women today are forging new ground, without many role models, and with a powerful legacy of centuries of women’s exclusion from professional life, a legacy that persists both within us and around us. Confidence likely won’t always be with us as we forge new paths. But we don’t need confidence to do what we most want to do in our careers. We need to learn to take action in the midst of self-doubt, and we can each begin practicing that today. How this applies to the challenges girls face?
