Embracing Ambition unites twelve exceptional women leaders from across North America with a simple goal: to share their leadership stories as a mentorship resource for the next generation of women leaders. From nonprofit pioneers to corporate strategists and from entrepreneurs to educators, these women represent a diverse cross-section of industries and roles. This book illuminates potential obstacles that ambitious women might encounter, provides lived experience solutions for them to embrace, and includes reflection questions to spark learning during their own leadership journey. The book marries rigorous academic research with first-person stories that describe in great detail what it actually feels like to lead. This is a true collaborative book: the authors came together for a weekend of story development and writing. The act of sharing their journeys with each other during the workshops infused each chapter with collective wisdom that speaks to all future women leaders.
