The Tory Burch Foundation today announced the launch of a global campaign, #EmbraceAmbition, to encourage women to embrace ambition. The initiative kicks off today to coincide with International Women’s Day. Inspired by Tory’s personal experience as a woman and entrepreneur, the campaign aims to address the double standard that exists around ambition, which is often seen as a great attribute in men and as a negative one in women.
A cornerstone of the campaign is a video PSA celebrating ambition, created with Laird+Partners. The PSA features celebrities and leaders from diverse industries including entertainment (Gwyneth Paltrow, Julianne Moore, Kerry Washington, Chris Pine, Reese Witherspoon), fashion (Anna Wintour), sports (Billie Jean King, Gabby Douglas, Laila Ali), business (Eric Schmidt, Sheryl Sandberg), philanthropy (Melinda Gates) and more.

Primrose Schools, a leading early education and child care franchise, is offering entrepreneurs the opportunity to pursue a meaningful and purposeful career by delivering a life-changing early learning experience for children and their families. The company is actively seeking Franchise Owners to independently own and operate schools across the country in response to national demand for high-quality early education and care providers.
According to USA Today, the majority of the American workforce would like to pursue a career with deeper, personal meaning; an overwhelming 82 percent of 40-59 year-olds surveyed said they want to give back more, and 75 percent said they want to make their lives more meaningful. Hundreds of entrepreneurs from a variety of professional backgrounds are fulfilling their dreams through ownership of a Primrose school. In fact, Primrose Franchise Owners are not required to have a background in education. The common denominator uniting each person who owns and operates a Primrose school is an entrepreneurial spirit and a passion for educating the next generation of leaders.
