About this Event

Join us to celebrate the launch of The Ambition Trap, a groundbreaking new book by Amina AlTai that redefines ambition—especially for those who’ve been historically excluded from traditional narratives of success.

Co-hosted by Nitika Chopra, Founder and CEO of Chronicon and The Chronicon Foundation and TV Host, the evening includes:
✨ A thought-provoking conversation with Amina and Nitika on reclaiming ambition on your own terms
✨ A special book signing and behind-the-scenes insights from Amina. (Each ticket includes two books)

✨ Delicious bites, celebratory drinks, with likeminded friends

Most of us think ambition means doing everything in our power to get what we want. But this approach costs us our health and wellbeing, and ultimately upholds oppressive systems. In The Ambition Trap, leadership coach Amina AlTai shows you how to break the cycle of overwork once and for all—and finally create the greatest, most joy-filled work of your life.

Drawing on her work with Fortune 500 leaders, Olympic gold medalists, start-up founders, and former “girlbosses,” AlTai guides you through the process of reconciling your ambition, starting with healing the core wounds and insecurities currently driving you. Along the way, she introduces actionable strategies for aligning your work with your deepest “why,” leaning into your most natural gifts, nourishing yourself in the long-term pursuit of your goals, setting a sustainable pace, and allowing contentment to guide the way.
It turns out, ambition isn’t a dirty word but an invitation to design your life with even greater purpose, meaning, and joy.

Spots are limited—RSVP now to claim your place!

We can't wait to celebrate with you.

with joy and gratitude,

Amina and team
