The latest research continues to say that girls and women struggle more with confidence than boys and men. Why is this the case? Why is confidence so important in all aspects of our lives? What can we do to help girls and teens develop and keep a strong sense of confidence? How can we strengthen and use confidence in every aspect of our lives—whether with friends or in school, community, workplace, church, or even in our own homes.

Internationally recognized leadership expert, Dr. Susan R. Madsen, will provide an engaging workshop that will help us understand the confidence gap between genders and how we can strengthen our confidence to be prepared to contribute in more meaningful ways in the world.
