Shellye Archambeau knew as a teenager she wanted to grow up and become a CEO. But when Shellye started as an undergraduate at the Wharton School of Business in 1980, there were just two female CEOs of large corporations, and none of the CEOs of Fortune 500 companies were Black. Despite the lack of representation, Shellye became the first Black woman to lead a division of IBM overseas. She broke barriers and took risks leading to a successful career with leadership positions at Blockbuster, Zaplet and MetricStream. Shellye's book, Unapologetically Ambitious: Take Risks, Break Barriers, and Create Success on Your Own Terms, details her singular approach to leadership, and her advice for taking ownership of one's career.

On one hand, I want to grow into the best of who I am and have a life of contentment, but on the other, there are some status-based trophies that just don't matter to me as they once did. I've come to realize that it's only by having pursued and–in some cases–won some of those trophies, have I started to appreciate what my bigger, more internally-driven goals might be. Shellye Archambeau, author of Unapologetically Ambitious, was ranked one of the 100 Most Influential Business Leaders in America, reflecting a 30 year career of leadership roles in various organizations. As such, she has a profound understanding of ambition at the highest echelons of organizational life, and is eager to share what she's learnt along the way.

Often we fail to fulfill our dreams not because they're big, but because we lack enough intention to pursue them. Regardless of how great your ambitions may become, it's never too hard. It only takes being intentional, purposeful, and committed to achieve your goals. In this episode of Fifth Dimensional Leadership podcast, I interview Shellye Archambeau, Fortune 500 Board Director.

Shellye Archambeau, author of Unapologetically Ambitious: Take Risks, Break Barriers, and Create Success On Your Own Terms recalls how even as a high school student, her goal was to become a CEO. While she didn't have a full understanding then about the implications of running a corporation, she set her goals and pursued them becoming one of the first African-American tech CEOs in Silicon Valley. Her book's core message is to teach readers how to get what they want out of life – professionally and personally, by being intentional. The book shares strategies, approaches, tactics, and hacks on how to go about it, despite it being hard. Archambeau relates that when people say someone is “ambitious,” they don't necessarily mean it as a compliment. She knew she wanted the word “ambitious” in the title; however, the “unapologetic” part was inspired by her friends. They noted that women tend to apologize for everything. She adds, “Everyone deserves the right to be ambitious and nobody should have to apologize for it.” Achambeau has a definition for ambition. She says it's about being intentional – something she learned along the way simply by listening. It's about paying close attention and watching other successful people and follow their path, take in all that knowledge and build it into your own plan. She adds, “There's a lot of good advice that comes down if you actually listen to it.” Archambeau encourages people to find mentors because they don't have to have a “formal role.” Mentors are people that can offer you advice, counsel, and perspective so you can make decisions and take risks. “It is not weakness to take help, it's actually a strength.” She also imparts great advice for readers: “You have to be strategic about what you're doing” and “Ambition alone won't get your where you need to be.” Learn more about your ad choices.

Later on Shellye was accepted and graduated from The Wharton School prior to getting her start at IBM. It was Shellye's goal to become the CEO one day, but after 15 years of working her way through the ranks running very successful departments, she realized she wouldn't be considered for the IBM CEO role, and moved to become the President of Blockbuster.com. (She was in the meeting that Netflix pitched Blockbuster, but that is a whole nother podcast.)Shellye studied CEOs, and realized that sales is the path to becoming CEO more than any other role, which led her to Executive Marketing/Sales positions at NorthPoint Communications and Loudcloud/Opsware. The next phase of her journey was to getting on boards, as boards are in charge of hiring CEOs. This led her to becoming a Board Director on many boards. Now, Shellye's mission is to impact and inspire to achieve what they want to achieve has led her to writing her new book, “Unapologetically Ambitious.”Quotes“You can't control what people say or do, but you can control how you react. If they affect how you feel about yourself, they won.”“Be comfortable with the uncomfortable.”“Risks and rewards are two sides of the same coin.”“Impact and inspiring others to achieve what they want to achieve.

What does it take to create success on your own terms? I know that's a massive question. We all recognize predictable skills to increase the likelihood of that success like clarity, discipline, habits, mindset, and navigating relationships. Yet, there can be a chasm between what we know intellectually and what we put into regular practice. I had the pleasure of speaking with, Shellye Archambeau, an exemplar of excellence who has lived the best practices of leadership as a CEO, senior executive, and board member at multiple high profile high-tech companies. Shellye was named the second most influential African American in IT by Business Insider magazine and she is the author of a book that serves as a roadmap to successful leadership. The book is called Unapologetically Ambitious: Take Risks, Break Barriers and Create Success on Your Own Terms, and it was named a Best Business Book of 2020 by both Fortune and Bloomberg. Silicon Valley venture capitalist, Ben Horrowitz, said of her book, “If your goal is to be a truly great leader of men and women, you have found your guide." I agree so much so that I have read this book several times. I find Shellye's wisdom, humanity, and ability to convey her world-class experience in an actionable fashion, simply phenomenal. Among the elements of success unpacked are the importance of mentorship and finding your cheerleaders. Shellye's voice is so strong and clear that, as I read her book, I felt her becoming both a mentor and a cheerleader to me! So, join Shellye and me as we have a lively and informative discussion about how to create success on your own terms.
Unapologetically Ambitious invites us to move beyond the solely supportive roles others expect us to fill, to learn how to carefully tread the thin line between assertive and aggressive, and to give ourselves permission to strive for the top. Make no apologies for the height of your ambitions.

This week, I'm talking to Natasha Tiwari, an award-winning psychologist, entrepreneur and mentor investor, who has trained with some of the greats, including the one and only Brené Brown, and Deepak Chopra. She is also a licensed psychotherapist and yoga teacher, and she combines her command of strategy with her knowledge of neuroscience, the unconscious mind and ancient wisdom, to propel her own entrepreneurial successes, and the successes of those who she counsels and mentors. She has been featured by major publications including BBC World, Glamour, GQ, Marie Claire, The Telegraph, The Guardian, The London Evening Standard, and has guest lectured at the University of Oxford and University College London. This conversation was a real joy, and I am genuinely surprised at how much juicy, honest and important issues we covered in 90 minutes. We covered: Natasha's story from super-ambitious student to burnout survivor, and learning how to combine her spirituality with high performance goals How to be unapologetically-ambitious and enjoy the finer side of life, without losing your spiritual side Why getting into a state of “flow” allows you to do difficult things in life more easily (and how to do that) How to discover - and allow yourself to come back to - who you really are, underneath the noise How our experiences - and those of our generations before us - shape who we are, and how to heal ourselves from generational and historical trauma How “slowing down” in life can actually allow you to really “speed up” and reach your goals quicker Why you deserve nice things and good things - no matter what How to set yourself boundaries, even if you're busier than you've ever been What active allyship looks like - for white women and WOC The whitewashing of wellness and appropriation, and how to avoid it And what it means to “remember the magnificence of who you really are”... ------------ Show Notes TV Show: The Sinner - Netflix Little Fires Everywhere - Book / TV Show Unlocking Us with Brené Brown: Celeste Ng and Little Fires Everywhere Download Natasha's gift bundle here!
