Many people are taught to believe ambition is a selfish, greedy, or overly competitive drive that nice people don’t utilize or admit to.


Ambition is the driving force to strive for success and accomplishment. It pushes us forward beyond our limits to reach new heights. In the world of medicine, ambition is essential for doctors to survive the rigorous training process and thrive in their careers. However, there is a lot of misunderstanding about ambition and its negative associations.


Together with Harjot Singh MD, we will look at what is ambition and how it can be a positive motivator. Dr. Singh is a child and adolescent psychiatrist, keynote speaker, and a physician leadership and communication coach here at TheHappyMD.com. 


In this conversation, we’ll discuss ambition as a positive force when used to build your ideal practice or work for the greater good.


 


"How fired up are you? That's a very key question I always ask people who come do the first session with me. How fired up are your aspirations for your goals?" - Harjot Singh MD
