Redefining success: from achievement to alignment - with Averil Price
With more than three decades in public service and leadership, Legacy Coach Averil Price knows what it means to carry responsibility, strive for impact and build a successful career. But this conversation goes far deeper than professional achievement.
Beyond the professional story you might expect, the leadership roles, the meaningful contribution and the visible success, there is also the more private story: of loss, identity, survival, recovery and re-invention, with many of the questions that can quietly reshape a life. Averil reflects on the experiences that changed her most, from discovering the truth about her father’s death at the age of 21 to surviving a life-changing brain haemorrhage in 2020; sharing how those moments invited her to re-think success, pace and purpose.
What emerges is a deeply thoughtful conversation about legacy: not as something we leave behind at the end, but as something we live daily - through our choices, our courage, our relationships and the ripples we create in other people’s lives. Averil shares how that understanding has shaped both her own next chapter and the work she now does to help others honour their story and move forward with greater clarity and intention.
We talk about transition, wellbeing, brave decisions, portfolio careers, and the importance of defining success on our own terms. This is a rich, grounded and quietly powerful conversation about what it means to live more consciously, and to shape a legacy that is already unfolding.
