Giveaway: Ambition is Not a Dirty Word
Dr. Debra Condren interviewed 500 women for her book, Ambition Is Not A Dirty Word: A Woman’s Guide to Earning Her Worth and Achieving Her Dreams (Random House/Broadway Books). As a business psychologist, founder of the Women’s Business Alliance, and speaker, Debra has coached thousands of women at every level and found that each one possesses the same fear: if she goes after her dream, she’ll be seen — or she’ll regard herself — as a bad mother, selfish, bitchy, a bad wife, a bad lover, a bad friend, or an arrogant fraud. She believes that is exactly this fear of ambition that has forced women to leave our dreams and our great talents by the roadside, rendering us half of what we should be in every area of life.
Debra’s message and mission: you can redefine your ambition in the face of social sanctions — without guilt and without sacrificing the rest of your life. Debra offers fresh, powerful tools for reclaiming our dreams and shows us how all our priorities —personal and career goals alike — can fit together harmoniously. She believes that we owe it to ourselves, our children — and the world — to make the contribution we were born to make. Send Debra your burning ambition questions and read her weekly career columns at: www.AmbitionIsNotADirtyWord.com.
