Is It Time For A New Definition of Ambition? with Jennifer Romolini

It’s time for a new definition of ambition.
Ambition…let’s talk about it. We’ve been told it’s not a dirty word, that it’s ok (actually more than ok) for women to be ambitious. We’ve been told we should strive for C-suite positions, the corner office, and to continue reaching for higher and higher paying roles.
For Jennifer Romolini, these messages were working, yet reaching the top did not fulfill her in the way that she thought it would. In her new book Ambition Monster, she chronicles how being overly ambitious and reaching the top made her so burnt out that she ended up literally losing her voice and her job. Listen in to hear about why being forced to rebuild was the best thing that ever happened to her.
