Please note that lunch will be provided. FWA thanks HSBC for their kind sponsorship of the venue and lunch.

FWA in collaboration with HSBC and Executive Coaching Consultancy (ECC), is pleased to present a session on the myths and realities of confidence by comparing conflicting notions from recent research that considers widely held gender norms.

Despite the emergence of “non-binary” thinking about gender, gender norms are not just going to disappear. Some research points to the conception that women are less confident than their male peers in their abilities as a leader, yet on the other hand, recent research shows no
evidence of a female modesty effect. In achievement-orientated domains, women rate themselves no lower than their male counterparts in leadership-related dimensions. The complexity of gender and confidence presents a myriad of paradoxes.

To address this question, and to examine the fundamental reasons and potential solutions to level of confidence, we have invited ECC to share their views on this topic. 

As well as delving into the research, the facts and the theories, you would also get the chance to share your personal viewpoints, past experiences and relevant insights so as to contribute to the broader understanding of ‘females and confidence’. Be sure to walk away with some practical insights and tips to help boost confidence, and also an awareness of some of the organisational systems and practices that need progressing to ensure genders are rewarded equally in the workplace.
