how they define success.

3. “Always be learning and don’t get comfortable
for too long. Each step in my career has been
a building block that has helped broaden my
skill set. If we make every position and project
a growth opportunity, there’s no limit to what
we can do.”
− Katrina Craigwell, Director,
Global Content and Programming, GE

4. “Waking up and going
to sleep happy.”
− Jolie Hunt
Principal, Hunt & Gather, Inc.

5. “I think success is about making impact and
treading lightly. Is the work we are doing leaving
the world better than we found it? And are we
being reasonable, reliable, pleasant people
while we’re doing it? If you do wonderful things,
but you had to be a jerk to get them done, that’s
not a win to me.”
− Genevieve Roth
Senior Director of Special Projects, Glamour Magazine

6. “Feeling stimulated, while
doing work that makes a
difference in people’s lives.”
− Penny Abeywardena
Commissioner, Mayor’s Office
for International Affairs
