Being a high-achieving professional can be greatly rewarding and satisfying, but it also comes with unique challenges. No matter your credentials, it’s easy to get caught up in comparing yourself to others and letting your definition of success get distorted by what you see others doing.

Ije Agbo is a Nigerian-born cybersecurity professional who immigrated to the US in 2010. Having built a strong career in assessment and risk analysis, Ije came to reshape her vision of what it means to be successful. Having become a mother of two young boys, Ije talks with host Ugochi Onyewu about how her children have helped change her purpose in life.

Ije also discusses the pitfalls of social media and how to protect yourself and your data online.

A particular quote from Ije stands out. She says, "You don't have to convince me you are successful. You know if you are successful."
