Did you know 1 in 3 children have little or no confidence?
Did you know girls are more likely to downplay their confidence?
And did you know that children from non-white and minority ethnic groups are likely to have less confidence than their white male friends?
Today I speak to Kathryn McColl, co-founder of Hark, the education agency that delivers programmes to over 90% of UK schools. Hark recently published their Listen Up report, which collected anonymous data from 1,400 children across the UK to better understand what they call the ‘confidence crisis.’
I drill down into some of their jaw-dropping insights, including the above, as we discuss why confidence appears to be on the decline among young people.
So pour yourself a cuppa, find a comfy seat, and enjoy the conversation…
