This is part 2 of 2 in which I share my strategies for reframing success in the context of my career and how I find and measure personal KPIs.

A couple of things that have been percolating in my mind over the past couple of weeks have come together: the reflective post in which I shared a ⁠story of my career⁠ prompted me to think more about where I am heading and why; then I completed the ⁠review of my tech stack⁠ which made me focus on whether I have the right tools for the work I want to do and what that is… ; and thirdly I have been preparing for the next run of my ⁠hybrid working leadership course⁠ (incidentally, if you’d like to join us, ⁠register ⁠before 26 May), which includes a topic about how to find your own measures of success.

My ⁠⁠⁠blog⁠⁠⁠, this ⁠⁠⁠podcast⁠⁠⁠ and free monthly ⁠⁠⁠newsletter⁠⁠⁠ are the best ways to connect and ⁠⁠⁠get in touch⁠⁠⁠ with me. Find out more about my work and get in touch via ⁠⁠⁠my business site⁠⁠⁠.

Explore my newest project: Long Distance Leadership Postcards. This innovative postcard-based approach to leadership coaching is something I created for my past self. When I was a CEO juggling competing priorities and responsibilities, things that put a spring in my step felt few and far between. I love the idea that I could have received a postcard each month from a trusted pen pal who really understood what I had to contend with. Each card would come complete with a little inspiration, a helpful strategy or a reminder to take a step back and get a fresh perspective. This is exactly what I hope this project will deliver for busy leaders facing the challenges of today.
