How would you describe someone who is ambitious? 


In our culture, it often means a person who is willing to do whatever it takes to get to the top, and it’s not necessarily a compliment. But ambition doesn’t have to be about power or money. Ambition can simply be about setting goals and working towards them. Ambition is all in how you use it and how it impacts people.


Today I’m talking about moral ambition and using that drive to make the world a better place and positively impact others.


Listen to the full episode to hear:

  • How the idea of moral ambition ties our personal goals to their broader impacts
  • How focusing on my ambition has helped me not get bogged down when people underestimate me
  • How moral ambition supports us in being the kind of leaders who truly make a difference
