In New Zealand we’re pretty content with our lot being known for breathtaking natural scenery and dominating on the world rugby stage. We’re not always up on the latest and greatest advancements as a small, less-ancient country, and we’re OK with that. But when we do innovate and lead the pack, we tend to create waves. We were, for example, the first country in the world to give women the right to vote, and it is therefore no great surprise that we now have our second female prime minister.

Over the course of reading two books, I got some important tips and reminders about taking risks, creating success, and being cognizant of those women following in our career footsteps.
In “Unapologetically Ambitious: Take Risks, Break Barriers, and Create Success on Your Own Terms” by Shellye Archambeau, women get the nudge even friendly shove they need to build their network, work on their personal brand, ditch forever the idea that work-life balance is achievable, and focus on the career attainment they want without apologizing for it.
What resonates with me is the trusting in your own plan that Archambeau advocates, regardless of what path other people think is more suitable for you personally or for that time period in your life. From family-planning and financial decision-making to deciding how to spend your free time, Archambeau places them all on the trajectory toward gaining the success you want.
