Work-life balance is a myth.
We need a better, more sustainable way to achieve our life and work goals.
“In a world where options are limitless, but time and energy are finite, it takes deep reflection and a sound strategy to make your aspirations a reality while also maintaining joy throughout the process — enter Sustainable Ambition.”
—Dawn Graham, PhD, Author of Switchers: How Smart Professionals Change Careers and Seize Success
WHAT’S INSIDE
Sustainable Ambition is about managing our effort across all the things we want to do and be, so we are successful, satisfied, and sustained.
Time management techniques and productivity hacks aren’t enough. They simply suggest how to use our finite time and energy more efficiently and squeeze more out of us.
Sustainable Ambition offers a better way—a mindset and a method to go from not knowing what you want, feeling like you can’t prioritize your life, and being overly stretched to being able to guide yourself in defining goals at any life stage, prioritizing across life and work, and achieving success with more resilience.
This approach empowers you to:
Keep your ambitions and make space for your life
Evaluate a goal or opportunity to determine if the tradeoff is worth it
Be strategic about where you invest your hard work
Avoid burnout while pursuing your goals
While not a magical solution, Sustainable Ambition offers simple, effective practices to make confident choices aligned with what matters most to you now. You don’t have to give up your goals—you can dream big, shape the life and work you want, and thrive.
