Abstract
Everyone has self-doubt. But many women lack confidence, feel unqualified, think that they lack skill, are imperfect, feel out of step with expectations, and are unclear about how to succeed. But with tolerance for imperfection, room to grow, positive feedback, supportive people to work with, clear expectations for success, and feeling valued and connected, women build confidence. They build their Personal Power.
