The Confidence Code

Confidence! With it, we can take on the world; without it, we don’t ask for raises, request that important meeting, or take risks. In the success equation, research shows that confidence is even more critical than competence. But what is confidence? Where does it come from? Are we born with it or do we acquire it? And why do women have less of it than their talents deserve? 

This speech is based on Katty’s bestselling books on the subject. Katty Kay inspires audiences with the latest scientific research and anecdotes from her own career and the many women and girls she interviewed. Katty’s experience is like that of so many women, even senior women, whose lack of confidence is what really holds them back. The good news then is that being confident is a choice. Katty’s talk inspires audiences to take action – to go outside their 
comfort zones, to try new hard things, to take risks, to be prepared to fail and to discover the 
secret to success.

This leadership breakfast, open only to female association CEOs, is a unique opportunity to discuss the changes and challenges you are facing with an exclusive group of executives who lead the nation’s most prominent associations.

Date: October 28, 2026
Time: 8:00 – 10:00 a.m.

Speaker: Katty Kay, U.S. Special Correspondent for BBC Studios, Popular Podcaster and Bestselling Author

Location: Teddy & The Bully Bar 1200 19th St NW Washington, DC 20036
