Ambition

⚠️⚠️BEWARE OF SCAMMERS⚠️⚠️ If you receive a WhatsApp message out of the blue from a recruiter claiming to be from 'Ambition' - THIS IS NOT FROM US. We have received countless alerts from members of the public who have been targeted by scammers impersonating Ambition personnel. Sometimes, they use fake names of people who don't even work here, other times they use the name of one of our Consultants. 📢 Let us be clear on this: If you have not applied for a job through us, or sent us your CV, we will NEVER send you an unsolicited message on WhatsApp. That's not how we work. We've heard reports of people sharing personal details and losing large sums of money due to these scams. Please be vigilant and if in doubt as to whether a message is genuine, please contact us directly to check before responding. More info here: https://lnkd.in/e32DzP_d

🧭 At Ambition’s recent finance event, we explored the paths finance executives have taken to reach leadership roles. We gathered insights from a comprehensive survey and invited a panel of expert CFOs - Liz Blockley, Karen O.’Duil, Simon Beckett, and Donna B. (Partner at Watermark Search International) - to weigh in with their personal experiences. Through their insights and our survey findings, we uncovered key strategies for rising to the top. From embracing resilience and agility to the importance of internal networking, these lessons are essential for any finance professional looking to advance. ✅ Want to know more about the top strategies?

Methods to help fall asleep, book recommendations that make a difference in your life, most effective martial art? 😀   Just a few of wide-ranging topics that came up during our discussions over lunch today, bringing together our male colleagues from our Asia offices to share stories, advice and tips around mental health and well-being, staying in good physical health & ensuring work-life balance, and the importance of building supportive networks. Some really honest conversations, talking through how we all deal with stress at work and in our personal lives. Being 2024, we did it hybrid style, starting with a virtual discussion and continuing over lunch—hence the photo below with our Singapore team. Big shout out to everyone who participated! While the catalyst for this session was to mark International Men's Day, most importantly, we are committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workforce and encouraging discussions and awareness around these important topics for all of our teams. Myself and a group of my colleagues are also over halfway through participating in Movember, raising funds and awareness for prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and mental health and suicide prevention. Please support us—every donation, large or small, makes a difference!

Last night, I attended ICAEW’s Corporate Finance Faculty reception at the beautiful Fishmonger’s Hall by London Bridge ("north" side of the river, apparently this is very important! 😁). It was a lovely evening of champagne flowing, making new connections and most importantly recognising organisations and individuals who’ve gone above and beyond within the Corporate Finance community. Artificial Intelligence was a key topic that Lord Clement-Jones CBE spoke about and its influence in corporate advisory. In recent years AI technology has been used in transforming industries and its adoption should be top priority for business leaders and ensure that values are set so that human use is ethically responsible. This requires governments to put regulations in place. There’s still so much we don’t know about AI’s possibilities: the good, the bad, the ugly, but we can’t ignore it either so whilst we embrace its existence and countless possibilities, it should always be partnered with ethics in mind. #buildingbetterfutures #ai #corporatefinance #londonrecruitment #icaew #aca #corporatedevelopment #corporateadvisory
