February 1st, 2021, feels like yesterday… and like 10 years ago. Time is funny that way. We’ve gotten so much done, and at the same time, we’ve only just started.
Since Jane and I kicked this off, Ambition has quickly become the best place I’ve ever worked. 20+ amazing colleagues, 400+ Ambition Empower members, and the best clients and partners one could ever dream of.
My business card says CEO, and one of the perks is constantly being credited for other people’s work. The truth – of course – is that I have little to do with most of our successes (the fuckups, on the other hand… buy me a beer, and I’ll tell you all about them). The real magic happens when our clients meet our consultants, and when our members meet each other and our track leaders.
So. I’m as proud as a peacock, but why do I think Ambition is the best place I’ve ever worked?
Above all. We get shit done. It doesn’t matter if we’re talking about client or internal work. Last week, one of our biggest clients gave raving reviews to our team for their ability to not just suggest great solutions, but also implement them. Earlier this week, we published a cheat sheet for UX researchers who want to explore how generative AI can make them faster and smarter. On Monday, a whole new track starts at Ambition Empower. And the week after that there’s something even more exciting that I hope that I’ll be able to tell you about.
I’m just so impressed with my colleagues. I’ve never been anywhere where we’ve managed to keep up this pace, and I love it.
Thank YOU for supporting us these first 1000 days! It really means a lot! ❤️🙏
PS. And Jane, I still love our first photo session with Martin Lindeborg. This is one of my favorite photos. The spirit. The mischief. 💯 DS.
