Professional Development for Ambitious People
​
The Bring Ambition Blog and its companion newsletter explore the more unconventional, tactical ideas you won't find in company-wide training programs — insights that will help you jump from your organization's upper quartile of performers to the top 1%.
You'll find articles that:
-
Distill professional development into practical 5-minute posts rather than 3-hour trainings
-
Deconstruct powerful transferable skills from a variety of domains to maximize your impact at work
-
Analyze the Psychology of Performance through both empirical research and stories of elite performers and accomplished people
-
Explore unconventional, often-overlooked skills and resources to help you accelerate your career
