Join the Women’s Empowerment ERG on November 30th for Book Club with the Author of Ambition Redefined
We are thrilled to announce an exclusive book launch event for Kathryn Sollmann and her groundbreaking work, Ambition Redefined. Hosted by the Women’s Empowerment ERG, this event promises to be an illuminating experience, offering strategies for work-life balance from a diverse group of C-Suite women, before they were in the C-Suite.
Event Details:
- Date: Thursday, November 30th, 2023
- Time: 12:00 p.m., noon
- Virtual Event: Zoom
- How to Register: Click here to sign up
- Note: Book is included with registration. You do not have to read the book prior to this event.
About the Book:
Ambition Redefined is a timely alternative to current women’s business books, redefining professional ambition and success. Sollmann challenges the notion that climbing the corporate ladder is the only path to fulfillment. She understands that not all women desire this journey or should feel pressured to follow it.
This remarkable book features advice from 50 C-Suite women nationwide, who generously share their experiences and strategies for managing what Sollmann refers to as the “four jobs”. These interviews dispel the assumptions about disconnected executive mothers, highlighting their careful planning, organization, and the healthy acceptance of imperfection.
The insights from these accomplished women cover a wide array of topics, from advocating for work flexibility to finding the right childcare, managing eldercare alongside siblings, and sharing household responsibilities with partners and children. They offer their tried-and-true suggestions for finding the courage to ask for help and the perfect timing to pursue that next big role.
