🏃‍♂️Before a marathon, men are much more likely to overestimate their performance than women. This may result from men’s relative overconfidence*. In 𝗕𝗲𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁, Martijn Van Der Graaf draws an insightful parallel to workplace behaviors.

For Laura Lesueur, this resonates strongly with the concept of the "confidence gap" that is often highlighted in discussions about gender disparities in the workplace.

Research suggest that women tend to underestimate their abilities and achievements compared to men. This can result in women being less likely to apply for promotions, negotiate for higher salaries, or take on leadership roles, even when they are equally or more qualified than their male counterparts.
