Ambition hasn’t always felt slimy.
It gives a lot of folks feelings these days, but it used to just mean you knew what you wanted.
You could answer “what’s next?” with confidence. You were climbing fast, probably. Working hard, definitely. It evoked a power-suit, power-walk, power-handshake.
But then something changed. Maybe with you? In-between a job search or a layoff or a really bad project, ambition became juvenile. A way for capitalism to make you think you were in control.
Or maybe it was with other people — suddenly ambitious was a thinly veiled insult. A way to call someone selfish, a shark. A group of startup bros twisted it into a sharp, narrow thing. Best job! Most money! Private jet! 10x! 100x! Unicorn!
That’s not what we mean.
On Friday, July 18, from 10-11am ET we’re going to talk about ambition. Because it’s only a dirty word if you let other people define it. Ambition is your driving force. It’s how you make the things you care about happen in the world. And we really, really need those things to happen. Give us an hour.
It’s $99 to attend. All proceeds go to Eva’s, a charity supporting youth experiencing or at risk of homelessness in Toronto.
And don’t worry, we won’t send a calendar invite that announces “ambition” to your colleagues. What would people think?!

About Pulse
Pulse is a series centered on practice. There’s no pre-work and no homework. There’s all of you, and us, coming together for an hour to go deep on one topic. To make work better.
It isn’t a webinar — you can’t be a silent observer. It’s online, live and interactive. It’s a program we designed for people who are willing to show up, cameras on, notifications off, as real as possible.
Bring your whole team or just yourself. If you’re excited to be there, we’d love to have you.
We’re grateful and excited to work with thousands of people from many industries around the world. However, there are a limited number of organizations and industries we don’t work with (oil, tobacco, weapons, etc). If we see a registration from one of those companies come in, we’ll reach out and refund the order. More info on our client policy can be found here.
