Ambition with self abandonment - what success really costs women

Unstoppable Network was the Impact Partner for TeamMarksmen’s Most Preferred Workplace for Women 2026–27. Shailja Saraswati opened with a speech on ambition without self-abandonment and how work can keep getting done even as our ability to hear ourselves narrows. Before the panel, she led an Inner Authority activation inviting 100 attendees to take the Inner Authority Assessment and reflect on moments they might hold back an answer, delay a decision while seeking validation, soften their words for others’ comfort, or ignore their own signals. The panel then explored what success really costs women.
