what is success
Welcome, it's good to see you. This session explores the question, what is success? Throughout this session, you're going to have the opportunity to think carefully about what success means to you. I'm not here to tell you what your life should look like. You should decide that for yourself, because this is your one and only precious life on Earth. My job is to help you achieve the success that you desire and deserve and I'll do that by sharing with you what researchers have learned about what predicts success in life. The lessons you learn in this course will be useful to you in at least three ways, and these are the areas that most people think about when they think about what makes for a successful life.
This course will help you get better and more meaningful results at work, regardless of the type of work you do.
It will help you achieve your career goals, whatever those goals may be. And it will help you enjoy a happy, healthy life, with time and energy to spend with the people you love and the communities you care about.
Let's talk about each of these in more detail. Beginning with the importance of achieving results. When we take on a job, each of us has a responsibility to add value to our organizations, our colleagues, and to the people our organizations serve. So this course is designed to help you get better results at work. Whether your organization's purpose is to provide products and services, make money for shareholders, heal people, cure diseases, educate others, alleviate poverty, or any other goal.
