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.

Refreshes your motivation towards goals
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 October 2020Verified Purchase
It's a great book that I highly recommend reading it. Through the description of author's career plan, which actually becomes her life plan, you gain ideas on how to form your development plan. Also, at the end of the book there are certain points to help you form your plan, not a template, but questions that drive you to design your own plan, even it is about your dream job, your dream partner, or whatever. You will find out that all we have to do to achieve our goals is to make our own plan and stick to it.

A roadmap to achieving success with any goal.
Reviewed in the United States on 9 November 2020Verified Purchase
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.
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.

Getting the Life You Want
Reviewed in the United States on 16 October 2020Verified Purchase
Shellye Archambeau has written a “how-to” that’s both delightful to read and incredibly useful. Her personal story is unique but the practical tools she develops for a successful life are of universal value. As early as high school, she began setting a direction and working her plan. In fact, strategic planning and making necessary choices are hallmarks of her lifelong ambition to create the life she wants – on her terms, and with no apologies. In one of my favorite chapters Shellye describes the moment she knew that Scotty (her future husband) was the right man for her. She knew she first had to find out not only whether Scotty wanted kids but whether he would be willing to be the “stay-at-home” parent when the kids were growing up. At 19 years old, she knew what she wanted in a life-partner and was ready to take the risk to ask this very big question before he proposed. Facing daunting odds in her career, she has moved from milestone to milestone with a strong set of values and unflappable grace. One of her core values is the desire to lift others and share the mindset and strategies that have worked for her. It’s what she calls “having an impact.” I was a career coach myself after a long legal career and I know that the tips and approaches she shares in this book are priceless.
