Unapologetically Ambitious: Take Risks, Break Barriers, and Create Success on Your Own Terms by Shellye Archambeau

5.0

Great book. The author acknowledges that some of her individual choices (having children young, only taking a few weeks maternity leave, etc.) were the result of the pressures of the time and many workplaces have evolved today. Nevertheless, she and her husband were true trailblazers and incredibly intentional about planning their lives together. This is a good read for ambitious women; I especially appreciated the points about family (when what you want is unconventional) and the process of identifying and articulating the skills you need to move to the next role.
