Cups of confidence – what is confidence and how to achieve it
What is confidence exactly? And how do you build this important business trait?
Rosabeth Moss Kanter, a Harvard Business School professor and author, describes confidence as "an assessment of a situation that sparks motivation." She describes ways to overcome major barriers that can hinder professionals - including self-doubt, perfectionism and more.
This week, Women in Business will be providing articles, information and resources to build confidence.
