ABOUT MISSION: AMBITION

SENT TO SERVE
Co-Founder Shelly Rood
Welcome, Friends!
 
Shelly here - creator of the Others Over Self® mindset and Co-Founder of Mission Ambition, LLC.  My life purpose is engaging people in meaningful conversation: the mission is great and time is limited.  My team and I are dedicating our lives to serving people in positions of influence, so that we can live lives of significance and make a lasting impact on the world.  We do this by leveraging resources and sharing trainings that define value sets, deepen interpersonal skills and optimize mental performance.  If you're feeling that the world is becoming increasingly selfish, then you're in the right place.  My mission with Others Over Self® is to foster a society that embraces the ancient wisdom of putting the needs of others first.  Having spent 16 years as a Military Intelligence Professional+, I'm able to connect with public servants and bring people together for the greater cause of improving our community.  I'm an ordained minister, a wife and mother with big dreams- we have an online community, a blog, a retail line, and we're even launching a podcast.  The pressure to succeed is real; I'm sure you can relate...

Have you ever needed to dial 9-1-1?
Or been in a situation where you truly needed help?
Consider for a moment – who was there for you in your time of need?

Perhaps it was a Fire Fighter or a Police Officer… maybe even a Chaplain or a military service member.  It could have been a parent, a sibling or a friend.  Whoever they were, they answered your call- and the world needs more people like them. 

Having the heart of a public servant is a skill that every person can attain.  Founded by a Military Intelligence Veteran, Mission: Ambition was created to help people reengage with the ancient wisdom that humanity’s purpose is putting the needs of others first.
