Most of us approach ambition from a place of pain and proving ourselves, while trying to fit into outdated corporate structures that don't represent who we are, or who we want to be. In The Ambition Trap, Amina AlTai encourages you to move from an ambition driven by our core wounds, aka 'wounded striving' towards 'healthy ambition' which rewards a life of balance and integrity.
Having worked for years as a coach with clients from business leaders to companies such as Google, Deloitte, Slack and Cartier, celebrities and sports people, let Amina show you how giving up the hustle is key to success, why 'girl bossing' doesn't work if you're headed for burnout, and what healthy ambition looks like in the modern world of quiet quitting.Amina AlTai is a leadership and mindset coach whose roster of clients include Fortune 500 leaders, entrepreneurs, and celebrities. After spending a decade grappling with a fast-paced career in marketing and two autoimmune diseases, Amina hit burnout. In hopes of healing her own life, she sought training in coaching, mindfulness, nutrition, and fitness, and her goal became to teach others how to balance a thriving career, body, and mind.
