We all want to make an impact — but what does that actually mean?
In this episode, Erica and Zoë explore one of the most powerful (and personal) elements of the Career Equation. Impact is the difference you make — in your work, your world, and the lives of others. But it’s also where energy comes from. When you feel like your work matters, everything shifts.
This is a reflective, practical guide to working out what success means to you, and how to measure it on your own terms — not just titles, salary, or what’s trending on LinkedIn. Whether you’re figuring things out or leading a team, it’s packed with tools and questions to help you build a career that truly counts.
⸻
In this conversation: • Why impact is personal — and always evolving • Getting clear on what success looks like for you • Why people stay (or leave) based on meaning, not money • How to ask the right questions — as a leader, coach or mentor • Ways to create more impact in your current role • How to spot your own sweet spots — and grow from there • Why measuring your impact boosts motivation • Real stories of people reshaping their careers after major change
