Ariane: As I try to navigate my next step career wise I have been searching for books that could motivate and spark some inspiration. I looked for books on Ambition and came across Unapologetically Ambitious. After reading the description I thought it would be a good read while I was on vacation. Shellye had a good layout to make it relatable, making the topics in line with her life experiences beginning with childhood to her life currently. I found myself smiling a lot with her references about family. I think this book was the answer to anyone who asked her “how did you get to where you are?” I enjoyed it and really emphasizes how important it is to create a plan, make smart choices, take risks and to believe in yourself (and in your support system.) With her accomplishments, I’d say her advice and motivating words are worth reading. *She does note that not everyone has the same goals and what works for some don’t always work for others (for the reviewers who question the authors lifestyle choices?)

Rachel E.: To me, Unapologetically Ambitious is an extremely powerful biography of an amazing black woman, who utilized sheer grit, intelligence, courage, and strong values to make her own path to success. Shellye’s book is a detailed guide on how to lead yourself and others to success. In it she shares how she made calculated decisions, how she devised strategies for success, and how she managed work and family. Shellye’s storytelling is fresh, authentic, intense, and powerful.
This book is a gem for upcoming professionals, it is filled with strategies, tips, and steps to advance yourself. However, out of all of the ideas/concepts Shellye shared, my biggest takeaway is how well the book encapsulates the power of the nuclear family. Shellye details how the effective family lessons and strong core values her parents shared with her, shaped her to be an ambitious teenager; who later rose to become one of Silicon Valley’s first female African American CEOs. It was great to read about how she grew up and the environment she grew in.
Shellye then shares how she met her husband, managed a healthy and balanced relationship upon which she laid the foundation to build a family of her own....

Rudolph Matete: An interesting read. Good take away points on planning and having a clear focus of plans and how to achieve them. However, I find most of the chapters repetitive. It would have been better to keep it short and precise.

Cecilia Tejeda: I enjoyed to read the book Unapologetically Ambitious from Shellye Archambeau. Sometimes I had the feeling it was a friend who was telling me her story and it was difficult to stop reading it. A great read!

STAVROULA S: 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.
