I've had the good fortune of having worked for Shellye at Metricstream and this book has helped me with the other side of her which not many knew. She was always such a picture of calm, grace and poise but like a duck in the water, we now know that she was paddling away, relentlessly juggling all aspects.
But this review is about her priceless life lessons, and as how it serves as practical navigator, a guide to all aspiring younger professionals and students alike and inspiring them to think big, reach out and chase their dreams, unapologetically.
I for one will gift this to my daughter next to learn from such a life experience.
The life planner is simple, tips super practical and easy to take home and remember.

Shellye Archambeau’s new book titled, Unapologetically Ambitious is a must read for any female leader and the sooner you read her book, the better off you’ll be.Reviewed in the United States on 9 November 2020
In this easy to read book, you’ll learn Shellye’s story of facing repeated adversity from a very young age to a defining moment where she doesn’t want to have to choose between tolerating cold temperature in her home to having to save up for college. This moment lights a fire under Shellye to stop at nothing in order to achieve success. No strong person has an easy past, and Shellye’s story confirms this because she takes no shortcuts throughout her journey. Every success she achieves is through sheer hard work and meticulous planning. She did her homework at every step of the way.
A few of my favorite parts include:
· Her strategic examination and mapping of IBM leadership routes to her devising a plan based on what she learned.
· Her bold questioning of a high profile Venture Capitalist before confirming her new role.
· Her keen insight to presenting a slide deck in a particular way to better connect with her international audience (found in chapter 27 – my favorite).
· Her smart decision to go external to find customer pain points to help her software company thrive.
