What is success?

Success means different things to different people. In my coaching sessions this week, I heard various definitions of success. From serial entrepreneurs to global directors, CEOs, and executives, success was defined in different ways. Some were excited about new roles and opportunities, while others pondered their impact on the wider world. One executive was debating whether to take on a complex turnaround project that could lead to greater things. For another, success meant having a flow of interesting projects in their portfolio career.

As I head into the weekend, I'm reflecting on what success means to me. How do you define success? Check out this cartoon that popped into my inbox from Charlie MacKesys.
