Ambition as a Virtue:

   Fear of ambition has forced women to leave the best part of themselves—their dreams, their great talents—by the roadside, and has made them less able to be the whole person they should be in every area of life.

   Dr. Condren draws from her new book Am-bitch-ous, coaching experience and interviews with 500 women achievers to dispel myths about women’s achievement. Without bashing men, learn how women are holding themselves back from being better leaders in every arena and making a better living. For example, Dr. Condren shares how to develop your own advisory board and the importance of/ins and outs of getting appointed to corporate boards. Videos of contemporary film and music are interspersed to enhance an upbeat, empowering presentation. Presentation objectives:
