Amina Altai is an acclaimed coach, healer, best-selling author, and purpose whisperer who has transformed burnout into brilliance and career chaos into conscious clarity. With clients ranging from executives at Google and Deloitte to leaders across industries, she’s redefining what success looks like for mission-driven individuals. Amina’s work centers on the intersection of body, mind, and career, and her latest book, The Ambition Trap, dives deep into healing our relationship with ambition and fostering purposeful success. Passionate about justice, equity, and helping others live into the fullness of their experience, she’s a powerful advocate for breaking systemic barriers and nurturing authentic careers.

Takeaways:

Purposeful vs. Painful Ambition: Ambition isn’t inherently bad—Amina distinguishes between painful ambition, driven by our core wounds, and purposeful ambition, which is rooted in our truth and wholeness.

Interconnection of Body, Mind, and Career: True success isn’t just career achievements—it’s about aligning your work, values, and well-being, allowing space for cycles of growth and restoration.

Zone of Genius is for Everyone: Every person has a zone of genius. When organizations and individuals tap into these innate strengths rather than focusing on relentless urgency, both burnout decreases and performance soars.

Sound Bites:

"Ambition is just a desire for growth or a wish for more life—and that’s inherent in every living thing on the planet, from our human babies to our plant babies."

“There are times in our lives where we need new roots. So it feels like a burning down, but it’s actually a rebuilding.”

“Success should include your body being well…that should be each of our birthrights.”
