What you'll learn: Shellye Archambeau on Being Unapologetically Ambitious — a 30-minute personal development course on Sonder.courses.

​From Steve Jobs to Mark Zuckerberg, Silicon Valley's tech companies are led primarily by well-connected white men. And while their achievements are certainly laudable, their homogeneity gives the impression that only a certain kind of person can succeed at high-powered innovation. Shellye Archambeau is here to prove that impression wrong. In Unapologetically Ambitious: Take Risks, Break Barriers, and Create Success on Your Own Terms, Archambeau details how determination, patience, and meticulous planning allowed her to accomplish goals she first established as a driven teenager. In this course, you'll learn to go after what you want—no matter who you are or where you're from—with techniques from Archambeau's book. You'll learn to confront impostor syndrome, prepare for opportunities, and develop self-assurance. We'll tackle building a reputation, growing your network, and integrating your passions and responsibilities. Finally, you'll learn to focus on what matters, practice self-care, find mentors, and advocate for what you want.
