What would you do if you had a little more confidence?
Would you take the next step in your career, assume more leading roles, set boundaries, ask for a raise, or even run for office?
Doubt and imposter feelings are a big reason women hold back and play small instead of going for what they truly desire at work. Coupled with the systemic gender equity issues and the resulting burnout that plagues women in the workplace today, it’s no wonder that so many women are undervaluing themselves and their abilities.
These doubtful thoughts and systemic issues are expensive—they cost women (and their organizations) their peace, their potential, and their paychecks.
To close the confidence gap and see more women showing up in their full potential at work, we need more women leaders at the top of organizations. Closing the Confidence Gap will show you how to advance with confidence, despite the systemic issues that women face every day at work.
You’ll hear deeply personal stories and walk away with practical tools to show you how to claim your role as a confident leader. It’s time to own who you are, trust yourself, and take your bravest next step.
Liz J. Simpson, founder and CEO of Stimulyst, top LinkedIn influencer & sales speaker
If you’re tired of outdated leadership books that repeat the same old prescriptive frameworks— then Closing the Confidence Gap is the breath of fresh air you’ve been craving! In this book, Kelli doubles down on what’s really missing from the conversation of advancing women in the workplace—based on statistics and backed by real stories. This is a book every woman must read so that she can ask for what she deserves, boost her paycheck, and advance her career.
Professional Publishing Review, August 2022
Between engaging stories of her own career and case studies of friends and clients, questions for self-reflection, and “tool kits” from her coaching program, Thompson has put together a compelling argument for learning to hold your head up high: to “own who you are, trust yourself, amplify your voice, and show up as the authentic, powerful woman leader you are meant to be.
Susan Hyatt, best-selling author of Bare
This is so much more than just a career book. This is the ultimate guide to owning your body, talents, and power as a woman.
