YOUR CONFIDENCE CODE

Claire Shipman and Katty Kay are both veteran journalists based in Washington DC, with history-making moments in their multi-decade careers. Both women have covered the White House extensively, reported on multiple presidential elections, the Trump and Clinton administrations, financial collapses, and the wars in Kosovo, Afghanistan and Iraq. Advocates for change when it comes to issues vital to women, and developing a much needed confidence movement for women of all ages—Claire and Katty are moving the needle with the work they both do as authors, public speakers, moms, wives and thought leaders. Together, they have authored three highly successful books including the New York Times bestselling books The Confidence Code and The Confidence Code For Girls.

Katty is anchor of the award-winning “BBC World News America” program and highly respected for the work she does traveling the world reporting on American politics, economics, and global affairs. She’s also a frequent contributor to “Meet the Press” and “Morning Joe”.

Katty arrived at the Pentagon just twenty minutes after a hijacked plane flew into the building on 9/11, and interviewed shaken soldiers as the story unfolded in real-time. She studied modern languages at Oxford and speaks fluent French and Italian with some “rusty Japanese”.

Claire covered the White House for NBC News and CNN and worked as a regular contributor to Good Morning America and ABC News. Her coverage on the ground in Moscow during the fall of the Soviet Union garnered a Peabody Award for CNN, and her coverage of the 1989 Tiananmen Square student uprising received a DuPont Award and an Emmy.

Claire studied Russian and earned a master’s degree from the School of International Affairs at Columbia College. She witnessed the fall of the Soviet Union, reporting on the ground and in person, as citizens swarmed the streets and took down statues of unwelcome communist leaders.
