Gaining confidence

I have been reading a lot about gaps recently. First, a couple of different outlets covered the confidence gap between men and women. In short, though women are often more skilled leaders, they undervalue themselves. They lack the confidence to negotiate better salaries or take the risks needed to catapult into upper spheres of leadership.

Which ignited some discussion: Is it a lack of confidence or does society simply undervalue women? Do women really just need to lean in?

Then, of course, the Bureau of Labor Statistics came out with their analysis of clergy and found that the gender gap in clergy is higher than it is in the business world.
