Event Details

WENOK is thrilled to invite you to a candid and motivational speech on Cracking the Confidence Code with Claire Shipman, a renowned Women's Leadership Expert, Television News Reporter, and New York Times Bestselling Author.


Join us as Claire Shipman discusses surprising new research from her book, The Confidence Code, which suggests that confidence may be the missing ingredient for women today who are eager to find both success and satisfaction at work and at home. Women are achieving unprecedented success in public and private sectors, but still nurture doubt about their ideas, their abilities, and their right to rule at the top. Shipman explores the female confidence conundrum and outlines how we can redo that wiring. Gone are the old maxims about standing up straight and faking it. Confidence is work, and it involves risk and giving up perfection. But it's within our reach.


Following Claire's speech, Brenda Anthony, Director of Organizational Development and Communications at Devon Energy, will moderate a Q&A session.


Thank you Devon Energy for hosting WENOK for this event.
