How do you define success? Gauging success by anyone else’s definition but your own is instant failure. Tricia Benn, Chief Executive Officer of the C-Suite Network™ delves into the minds of some of today’s most successful figures in business, entertainment, and entrepreneurship to see how they’re measuring success, what success means to them, and how to achieve success through constant disruption. Welcome to C-Suite Success with Tricia Benn.
CSS 076 -- Power, Purpose, and Knowing When to Walk Away
Ashley Craig built one of the most decorated careers in corporate finance — from fixed income analysis at Morgan Stanley to managing a $100 million operating budget at The Walt Disney Company — and then did something most executives never do: she walked away from it all to ask harder questions. In this episode of C-Suite Success, Ashley sits down with Tricia Benn for an unfiltered conversation that covers the full arc of a remarkable career — the painful lessons of stepping away to raise her children and being told her skills had gone stale, the moment she realized that accumulating wealth was no longer enough, and why she believes the executives
who will define the next decade are the ones paying attention to what's
happening to their workforce right now. From the financialization of the
American economy to AI, livable wages, and the power of knowing when to say no — Ashley Craig brings three decades of boardroom experience and hard-won clarity to a conversation every c-suite leader needs to hear.
