About the Event

We wear ambition like armor. We mistake exhaustion for excellence. We celebrate the grind and call it success — until our bodies force us to stop. In this intimate, interactive evening, bestselling author Amina AlTai unpacks the hidden patterns behind ambition, and invites you to rethink the way you pursue success.

Join us for an intimate conversation with executive coach and author Amina AlTai, who will guide us through the hidden forces that shape our relationship with ambition. Through reflection exercises and real talk, we'll explore the difference between ambition that drains us and ambition that's rooted in purpose.

What we'll dig into:

  • The core wounds driving our ambition (and how to recognize yours)

  • Why we celebrate painful ambition, and what we're getting wrong

  • The difference between passion and purpose, and how to work from the latter

  • How to lead differently in environments that glorify overwork

  • What purposeful ambition actually looks like in practice

This event includes guided reflection exercises and small group sharing. Come ready to get honest about what's actually driving you — and whether it's taking you where you want to go.
