How have you defined success for your own career?

I believe that success is being strongly aligned with my Why and my passion. I am also a believer in Ikigai - the Japanese concept that means "A reason for being". I have a passion for helping others and improving human quality of life. So as long as I am doing something that I love and I get paid for that helps me pursue this passion, I consider that as success.

I have also created short term (1 - 3 years) and long term goals (aspirations), and work towards these as part of my life's journey, evaluating them every year to see if they still make sense to pursue or if I have to pivot. 

At the end of the day, I feel that if one is happy and excited doing the things that they do, and they are making a difference in someone's life in a positive way, then they are successful.

I’m not the career planner type. My success has come from enjoying what I do and helping others rise along with me. Many of my favorite points in life were not associated with when I was being paid the most, but rather where I felt I could do the most good work. I also never take jobs for companies whose product, service or philosophy doesn’t fit my opinion of “a company worth working for”. 

I've measured (and continue to measure) my success in multiple ways:
1. The success of those around me/those which I directly lead and mentor
2. Continued meaningful growth and challenge in my direct role
3. The success and growth of the organization and efforts I contribute to
4. Compensation that aligns with the level of effort I provide
