I have "higher than average confidence" according to a quiz I just took. And, the funny thing is I was confident I would score in the lowest percentile!
The Confidence Code Assessment is in tandem with the book The Confidence Code by Catty Kay and Claire Shipman, which is the first read for the Association of Women in Communication-Santa Barbara's Books for Breakfast series.
Who knew that confidence is more important than competence in the workplace? Never once did I get that memo during my formative years. Now I understand how nincompoops rise to the top.
The Confidence Code is a real eyeopener. I recommend reading this book. Really good stuff.

Amy, as a therapist specializing in working with women around empowerment issues, this book is definitely on my "To Be Read" list. I'm glad it was an eye-opener for you!

I think you'll enjoy the book, and, perhaps, recommend it to some of your clients.
DeleteI agree that confidence is so important, but I'm surprised it is more important than competence!
ReplyDeleteI was surprised, too. But it certainly explains a lot of the nincompoops in high places all over the country.
ReplyDeleteI like to think I am pretty confident in myself and what I do. I might have to pick this book up and see what it's all about. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThe Confidence Code is an easy read. Not a big time commitment at all. Hope you enjoy it.
DeleteOh yes this sounds like a great book. I'll definitely be checking this out. And now I'm off to take the test for myself!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy! The test is fun.
