Polly Wiggins, RCDP, career coach and writer
Written by award-winning career and life coach, Caroline Green, The Career Confidence Toolkit for Women equips career development and HR professionals with tried-and-tested tools, techniques and strategies to coach and support women throughout their career.
Uniquely, this essential guide digs deeper; it doesn't just ask women to evaluate their values and skills, it analyses why women rather than men are more likely to lack confidence in the workplace, based on deep-rooted societal expectations and norms.
Featuring illuminating interviews with career, disability and legal experts, Caroline Green challenges CDPs to ensure they are providing a safe space for all their female clients, including giving advice to build confidence in younger girls and under-represented groups including trans women, non-mums and others.
This essential guide:
Builds confidence: supports CDPs to help women 'live' their authentic self
Contains practical guidance: saves time with a toolkit of tried-and-tested, ready-made activities
Provides expert support: includes a suite of strategies designed to accelerate women's careers and build their confidence.
The ultimate one-stop resource for CDPs and HR professionals supporting women achieve career success.
