Treat Your Life As An Experiment Not An Exam: Success Matters With Giorgia Prestento

Success is not just money or status, it is the freedom to choose how you live, work and contribute. Some days success looks like escape and reinvention. Other days it is having the courage to choose your own path without letting fear drive your decisions.In this Success Matters episode, I speak with change and leadership expert Giorgia Prestento about how to build a life and career on your terms instead of following a script written by family, culture or corporate life. Giorgia grew up shy in a small Italian village, then reshaped her identity through moves to London, Spain, Australia, Cairo and beyond, and now defines success as independence and the freedom to experiment with how and where she lives and works.We explore practical strategies for navigating change, career transitions and purpose driven work, including:Treating your life as an experiment not an exam, running small tests like two week pilots of new ways of working or living, then using the data to refine your next step.Hunting for blind spots and “black swan” style risks so that change is thoughtful not chaotic, and asking where you might be underestimating the impact of change on yourself and others.Doing less with more intention by choosing one key goal per quarter, then aligning your projects and weekly actions to three meaningful outcomes instead of trying to do everything at once.When you frame your choices as experiments and your results as data, you create room to change country, shift career, travel while working or redefine success around freedom, contribution or education rather than titles and appearances. If you are in the middle of change and you want a grounded, honest conversation about purpose, fear and designing a life that actually fits you, tune in to this Success Matters episode with Giorgia Prestento.At the end of the episode I invite you to take a short 2 minute “Change Readiness” assessment to reveal how prepared you are to lead through change rather than chase it. You will receive personalised results, readiness scores and a complimentary digital copy of Giorgia’s book Master the Change Maze. Take the assessment here: https://giorgia-change.scoreapp.com.
