Wouldn’t it be great if you could be audaciously ambitious and
happy at the same time?
You can, and you will.
We women aren’t advancing in our careers the way we should. We’re
not making the money we deserve or getting the fulfillment we
desire. And this time it’s not men who are holding us back. This
time we’re doing it to ourselves, because ambition—for us—is still
a dirty word.
Debra Condren has coached thousands of women at every level—from
those just starting out to the most powerful female executives in
the United States—and each one possesses the same fear: if she goes
after her dream, she’ll be seen as selfish, bitchy, a bad wife, or
bad mother. But it’s exactly this fear of ambition that has forced
women to leave the best part of themselves—their dreams, their
great talents—by the roadside, rendering them less able to be the
whole people they should be in every area of their lives.
Condren has a new message and mission: to remind women that
ambition is a virtue, not a vice. Ambition is the best of who we
are.
The real way to have a great life is to see ambition as a part of
your value system to which you must give equal attention, along
with the other priorities you hold dear, including your spouse,
your children, and your friends. In Ambition is Not a Dirty Word,
Dr. Condren offers fresh, powerful tools for reclaiming your
dreams. Her eight Ambitious Rules provide concrete, innovative
solutions to the everyday struggles we as women face, like taking
credit, deflecting detractors, and handling confrontation, so that
you can become more powerful and fulfilled at work and more
satisfied at home. You can redefine your ambition in the face of
social sanctions and unapologetically go after your dreams without
sacrificing the rest of your life.
You owe it to yourself and the world to make the contribution you
were born to make. Debra Condren will show you how to do it.
