LESS CONFIDENT THAN MEN.*


THIS IS CALLED THE CONFIDENCE GAP.

The ‘Confidence Gap’ represents the difference in self-confidence between genders, where women often tend to have lower levels of confidence compared to men. This gap can manifest in various aspects of life, such as the workplace, education, and personal relationships. It might mean that women are more hesitant to voice their opinions, negotiate for better opportunities, or take on leadership roles due to self-doubt or societal expectations.


Kérastase and British Chamber of Commerce are united in their mission to support and empower young girls and women aged 18-29 years old in Czechia and Slovakia through our free flash mentoring program: Power Talks. The initiative intends to help women recognize their potential, build their self-esteem, and develop the skills and mindset needed to overcome the Confidence Gap and achieve their aspirations.
