Happy Monday:
The US celebrated the 45th annual Women’s Equality Day last week and Bloomberg published an article reviewing the state of women in the workplace, and in spite of seemingly negative news all the time, women are actually doing better and there is more awareness than ever of gender bias.

And finally, it is well documented that women experience self-doubt in the workplace and that can be an impediment to their success. It seems a simple exercise developed at INSEAD can help to overcome this. The full article can be found here:https://hbr.org/2016/08/a-simple-exercise-can-help-women-overcome-self-doubt-and-succeed
