Ambitious & Human

Ambitious & Human

If you’ve worked hard to build a life and career you’re proud of, but are beginning to question whether the version of success that got you here is the one you want to keep living, Ambitious & Human is for you.

This weekly solo show is built on a belief I take seriously: we can be deeply ambitious and fully human. We don’t have to choose, and we shouldn’t keep designing lives and workplaces as if we do.

Welcome to Ambitious & Human

I was proud of the life and career I had built. I was also beginning to understand what some of that success had required me to trade away, and how often the choices I made about work impacted the rest of my life. That is the tension behind Ambitious & Human. I’m Latia Harris, founder of Latitude & Levity and a former People & Culture executive.
