Come and learn how to connect to our ambition with compassion, and the ways we can support others without losing our advantage, and further our careers without losing our soul.
Special guest Viv Groskop will discuss her new book, LIFT AS YOU CLIMB, what ’sisterhood’ looks like in action, and what you can do to make things better for yourself and others at work.
“Lift as You Climb is about balancing your ambition with compassion, and knowing when to put yourself first and when to look out for others. It’s about ambition you can live with and that lets you sleep at night. It tells you everything you need to know about making life better for yourself without making it worse for others. Full of tips, takeaways and useful insights about getting head without losing your sense of self, it’s a book you and your career can’t do without.”
Dr. Stephanie Minchin, aka The Yoga Psychologist, will then take us through an empowering psychology workshop, looking at self-compassion and how to nurture your ambition, while keeping balance in your life and protecting your mental wellbeing.
Expect partner work and group work that centres on tapping into our superpowers, recognising others’ superpowers and creating an action plan to support yourself and your goals.
All in the stunning Union Club, a private members club in the heart of Soho, who are opening their doors for this very special event as part of the launch of their partnership with MoreYoga.
Come away feeling inspired, connected and equipped with practical tools to navigate your career and look after yourself at the same time.
Lift as You Climb:
Women and the Art of Ambition
by Viv Groskop
AVAILABLE FROM 5 March 2020 | £12.99 Bantam Press | Hardback
Lift as You Climb is a dynamic guide to owning your ambition without having to be someone you don’t want to be.
It’s a book about balancing ambition and compassion, and how women can strive for personal success while trying to help – or lift – others along the way.
There are many difficult moments at work, times when we feel awkward, when our daily micro interactions make us uncomfortable, perhaps when we have to say no or assert ourselves in a way that makes us feel less like ourselves, less ‘sisterly’.
Part self-help guide, part master class in survival skills for life and work, Lift as You Climb examines what sisterhood looks like these days, asks what you can do to make things better for other women and considers how to do that without disadvantaging yourself.
It’s the ultimate confidence bible for women who want to plan a career in a fast moving world, but without leaving anyone else behind. And it addresses one of the biggest issues women face in the workplace – how to be ambitious without losing your sense of self.
Viv Groskop shows that it is possible.
Full of tips, takeaways and invaluable insights, this is everything you need to know about making life better for yourself – without making it worse for others.

‘I recommend Viv Groskop’s How to Own the Room to anyone wanting more self confidence. Full of helpful concepts you can get your head round and embody. I’m finding it very useful.’ – Philippa Perry ‘Plenty of tips and tricks… The most valuable lesson is that, in Groskop’s words, “You don’t have to be a great speaker to give an amazing speech.”‘ – Style ‘The ultimate guide to public speaking. Inspirational.’ – Mary Portas ‘Demystifies the art of talking to people and winning them round to your cause.’ – The Times ‘This book is going to help so many people. It’s brilliant.’ – Emma Gannon ‘Easy steps to soothe the nerves and build confidence.’ – Nina Stibbe ‘An excellent, truly useful guide to getting more women front and centre, encouraging us to take part, noisily, in public life. (The podcast is also fabulous.)’ – Daisy Buchanan
