Description

How much is enough?  Is ambition always about more, bigger and higher? Ambition is a concept most of us have been trained to understand in a very particular way, and many of us design our lives in search of a career that meets our narrow understanding of the word.  Many of the organizations carry that same limited view of what ambition can look like, so the messages are reinforced over and over again that more is always better.   Yet, many of us take all the ‘right’ steps towards a bigger, flashier career and don’t feel great about it. We dive into what’s going on, and explore other ways of defining ambition. In fact, we wonder if ambition is even the word we want to keep using: Nayla offers the word: appetite, and Eric offers: energy… what if we are in pursuit of satisfying our appetites and following our energy?  Where might that lead us? We talk openly about our own efforts to redefine ambition for ourselves, and some of the tools we offer our clients as they explore build a better life and career for themselves. How are you thinking about your own ambition these days?

We’re Nayla Bahri and Eric Johnson, and we love to talk about the intersection of life and work. Why? Most of us will spend more hours of our life working than doing anything else. The relationship we have with work, and the way we make meaning of our time and experience there, serves as a great platform to explore how we show up to the rest of our lives: relationships, family and parenting, our health, our hobbies and interests, and our general attitude towards the human experience. With insights and observations pulled from our leadership and career coaching, teaching and consulting work, as well as the most relevant research across fields, we’ll talk about the ideas that really impact how you experience work – and your life – and actionable strategies to make work work for you, from the inside out.
