How Women Can Get More of What They Want When Negotiating
Hey, I'm Stefanie,
While ambition in men is praised and nurtured into power, profit, and prestige, ambition in women is still too often seen as unattractive and undesirable and can carry steep personal, professional, and social penalties.
Time and again, women are penalized for doing the things they’ve been told to, to gain more respect, power, money, and freedom. So where does that leave us and our relationship to our own ambitions?
That’s what we dig into here at Too Ambitious.
- The ambivalence, discomfort and denial of our own ambition, and why we feel it.
- How it can keep us from advancing in our careers, making the money we deserve and getting the fulfillment we want.
- What needs to happen for more women — across race, class and identity — to feel entitled to their ambitions and supported in the pursuit of them.
If you’ve ever been called ‘too ambitious’, welcome. I’d love to have you join our club!
