The confidence myth: What really holds women back
Join us for an engaging conversation and Q&A
Women are often told they need more confidence to succeed. But what if that advice is fundamentally flawed?
In this webinar, IMD’s Ginka Toegel challenges the deeply ingrained assumption that women lack confidence – and shows why focusing on “fixing” women can be both misleading and counterproductive.

Drawing on three decades of global teaching and leadership research, alongside her background in psychotherapy and insights from her book The Confidence Myth, Toegel explains why women are frequently rated as highly – or more – effective leaders than men yet still face persistent doubts about how their contributions are valued.
Why this matters now
The session will discuss common self-defeating behaviors, the impostor phenomenon, and the double standards around emotional expression at work.
