Oyster is supporting The Shape of Ambition, a live podcast experience hosted in collaboration with Places She Shapes and Leading From The Front.
The session brings together senior voices from across the built environment to explore what sits behind ambition, leadership and progression within the industry.
Overview
Ambition is often talked about, but rarely unpacked.
This session focuses on the decisions, challenges and defining moments that shape careers over time, offering a more honest view of what progression and leadership look like in practice.
Through a live podcast format, the discussion will move beyond surface-level insight and into real experiences from those operating at a senior level across the sector.
Discussion Themes
- The defining moments that shape career direction and progression
- The reality of leadership within the built environment
- Barriers to visibility, and how they are being challenged
- The role of community, networks and industry initiatives in supporting long-term progression
