"It's actually really important that you succeed at what you're succeeding at, but that isn't going to be the measure of your life." Too often, we measure success in life against the progress we make in our careers. But how can we ensure we're not straying from our values as humans along the way? Clayton Christensen, Harvard Business School professor and world-renowned innovation guru, examines the daily decisions that define our lives and encourages all of us to think about what is truly important.

If more than 7 people join the discussion, we will break out into smaller groups. **(max 7 people per group)**

1. **Why do you think the pursuit of immediate achievement often overshadows deeper sources of fulfillment, such as relationships or personal growth?**
2. **Many people end up living lives they never intended. How can we become more aware of the "unintended strategies" we are implementing daily?**
3. **If families and relationships are often cited as the greatest sources of happiness, why do we find it so difficult to prioritize them consistently over work and other commitments?**
4. **What practices or habits could help ensure that our daily actions align with the life we hope to lead in the long term?**
5. **Society often defines success in terms of hierarchy and wealth. How might individuals create personal definitions of success that resist these external pressures?**
6. **If the true measure of life is the positive impact we have on others, what steps can we take to make this a central part of our daily lives?**

To provide an enjoyable experience for fellow participants, here are three ground rules during discussion events:

1. Step up and step back. (If you feel that you’ve been talking too much, step back to listen more. If you feel that you’ve been relatively quiet, step up to share your perspective or ask a question)
2. Listen to understand, not to respond.
3. Be open-minded and value differences.
4. Max 7 people per group.
