"AmBITCHous"

Psychologist and career coach Debra Condren's book, am•BITCH•ous, is a defiant charge to women to "reclaim ambition as a virtue." Ambitious men are seen as go-getters, she writes, but there is a public distaste for smart, aggressive, successful career women, who are too often labeled with the insulting epithet in the book’s title.

Condren has coached thousands of women at every level - from those just starting out to the most powerful female executives in America - and has repeatedly encountered the same fear of being seen as selfish, bitchy, a bad wife or a bad mother for pursuing their dream. Yet it is fear of ambition that forces women to leave the best parts of themselves - their dreams and their great talents - by the wayside, thus diminishing their potential in every area of life. Condren has a new message and mission: Remind women that ambition is a virtue, not a vice. Ambition is the best of who we are.

Please join us on May 2 from 5:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. at Le Meridien in San Francisco to hear Dr. Condren offer fresh, powerful tools for reclaiming your dreams. Her eight "amBITCHous Rules" provide concrete, innovative solutions to the everyday struggles women face - like taking credit, deflecting detractors, and handling confrontation - so that you can become more powerful and fulfilled at work and more satisfied at home. You can redefine your ambition in the face of social sanctions and unapologetically go after your dreams without sacrificing the rest of your life. You owe it to yourself and the world to make the contribution you were born to make. Debra Condren will show you how to do it.
