Have you ever been told that your ambitions are too big?

There’s a fine balance between being ambitious in your career and being realistic in your grant proposals. In this episode, I explore why feedback on being "overly ambitious" in grants should not have any influence on your career ambitions - and how you can address this critique effectively. 

More importantly, I’ll discuss the importance of dreaming big and setting a bold career North Star to guide your long-term goals and aspirations.

  • The common critique of being "overly ambitious" in grant applications and what it really means

  • Practical tips for writing feasible, impactful grants while maintaining a visionary career path
