Her Development - Virtual Fireside Chat on The Ambition Trap: How to Stop Chasing & Start Living *members only
Join us for our Her Development Virtual Fireside Chat on The Ambition Trap: How to Stop Chasing & Start Living with executive coach, leadership trainer, and author Amina AlTai as we dive into the themes of her new book, The Ambition Trap: How to Stop Chasing and Start Living.
In this discussion, Amina will share what she’s learned coaching founders, executives, and creatives at the highest levels — and why so many of us get caught in cycles of overwork, burnout, and chasing external validation.
Together, we’ll explore what it looks like to anchor our ambition to purpose rather than pain, and how redefining success can open the door to more joy, fulfillment, and sustainability in our work.
Expect an honest, energizing conversation about ambition, identity, and the courage it takes to break free from hustle culture — with takeaways you can apply in your own career. We’ll close the session with time for audience Q&A, so bring your questions!
🛍 Book Giveaway: The first 10 people that register and attend the event will receive a free copy of The Ambition Trap.
