Courage is Contagious & Competency Bias - are men biologically wired to be cleverer than women, or are they assumed to be more competent‪?‬ Courage is Contagious with Sophie Neary

    • Careers

There’s no study I know of that says that men are better lawyers, leaders, doctors, prime ministers or presidents than women.  We’re 51% of the population, but we don’t run 51% of countries or companies.  Are men really biologically wired to be better?  

Study after study shows there’s an authority gap between men and women. Men are assumed to be competent, whereas we women have to prove it.  This silent questioning of our competency can also impact our mental health, our stress levels, create imposter syndrome….

Tune in now as Sophie Neary talks competency bias with Meta's Zehra Chatoo and learn about competency bias and what women and allies can do about it.
