15Redefining Success

What is success?

Who determines it?

Working with my clients, the goal is to help them advance in their career, whether it's a career pivot to a new industry, a job search for a new role, or a promotion within their current career field. Maybe it's taking a step back, prioritizing wellness, implementing work‐life integration, or taking a big leap. Whatever the goal, the definition of success always comes into the conversation.

Costs like damage to our health, personal relationships, mental health, boundaries, and more. So what we need to do is spend time evaluating our own definition of success and pathways to obtain it. When I work with my clients we explore questions such as:
