In this episode of The Fulfilled Leader, Jean revisits a powerful and often misunderstood topic - ambition. Prompted by recent coaching conversations and personal reflections, she challenges conventional notions of ambition and invites you to rethink what it really means for you.

Jean explores how ambition isn't just about promotions, titles, or relentless striving. It's about discovering what you truly desire to achieve - whether that’s launching a passion project, being fully present with your family, or becoming exceptional at what you do now. With rich storytelling from her own journey - from a young teacher in New Zealand to founder and coach, Jean shows how ambition evolves with us.

This episode is an invitation to reclaim your ambition and align it with your values, season of life, and deeper sense of purpose.
