WHAT IT REALLY TAKES TO BE A LEADER IN 2021

(Hint – It isn’t working longer hours)

“I didn’t really know what I wanted until you challenged me to imagine what was really possible.

I went into my boss’s office, described the new role I wanted and they created it for me. I am happy; I got everything I wanted and more.”

Sound Solutions

Does this sound like you?

  • You’ve checked all the boxes in the performance review system. You have the certification. You’ve taken the leadership course and all of the training. You have years of experience to bring to the table, but you’re still not getting ahead.
  • You don’t seem to fit the mould. You’re just as good as everyone else you work with, but the same type of people keep getting promoted.
  • The harder you work, the more frustrated you get. Nobody seems to pay attention to you. The harder you try to fit in, the harder it is to get ahead.

If so, you’re in the right place!

THE PATH TO LEADERSHIP IS NOT CLEAR

 

Most people and organizations believe that technical skills and years of experience are what it takes to be a great leader.

You keep your head down, work hard, and expect a reward.

When this strategy doesn’t work, it makes you feel overwhelmed and frustrated. It can even cause you to question whether you have what it takes to be a leader.

The truth is leadership is more about influence than it is about technical skills and years of experience. When organizations look for their next leader, they’re looking for an influencer, not a cog in the wheel.

A lot of training courses today are task-focused. They don’t include the behavioural side of things. To move to the next level and lead others, you need to demonstrate the behaviours that inspire, influence and motivate others.

“Since I joined a year ago I’ve gotten a promotion and I’ve built my professional brand regionally and nationally. 

My success is largely attributed to the program – I would not be as confident and successful as I am without it.”

Marketing Coordinator, Halifax, NS

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How much time is required?

If you invest 1 hour per week in your personal and professional development, that’s all it takes to make things happen for yourself. Ambition Theory is designed for busy people like you – to pop in and out when you’re able to.

I’ve already done an Ambition Theory program. Will this still work for me?

YES! The membership is for people who want to continue the momentum that they created during their coaching program. This allows you to have motivation, support and accountability all the time. There is no check box or end date for leadership because it’s a continuous journey of self-improvement.

I’m an entrepreneur, is this for me?

Ambition Theory is for entrepreneurs who want to scale or are focusing on a B2B client. The membership can help you build relationships that often lead to client work.

What kind of support can I get if I get stuck?

We have live monthly office hours with Leadership Coach Andrea Janzen and networking workshops with Jodi Millen. You can bring your challenges to these live events. We also have a dedicated Manager of Member Success, Sandra Grilo, who can guide you to get the most out of your membership.

I don’t have direct reports. Is this for me?

We believe that leadership is more than a title. It’s about influence, and you can influence people no matter where you are in the organization.

What if I realize a few months in that this isn’t for me?

Ambition Theory is a monthly membership program. That means you can cancel at any time with no questions asked.

Can being a member help me earn more money?

We give you the tools to articulate your value and the support to advocate for yourself.  Many of our members have negotiated higher salaries for themselves or as entrepreneurs, are able to charge higher rates for their services.

I already have an extensive network and am a member of other associations. What makes Ambition Theory different?

The main difference between Ambition Theory and other associations or networks is that we include professional coaching and networking and business development strategy consulting. Our small group sessions allow you to have direct access to Andrea and Jodi’s expertise to help you achieve your professional goals.

Why should I spend my money on this? 

There is only one question you need to ask yourself” ‘Am I worth investing in?’  Of course you are!  You wouldn’t be here if you didn’t think you’re worth it!  Membership is the first step in owning your career.

 

“Working with Ambition Theory helps you reconnect with your spark. Some other coaching programs are either cost prohibitive or time prohibitive. This is exactly what you need – you can come in and out of coaching depending on where you are at.”
