By Co.next
When we think about success in the workplace, the default markers are often obvious: job title, salary, promotions. They’re visible, easy to compare, and traditionally celebrated.
But the truth is, these are just surface-level wins.
At Co.next, we believe success runs deeper. It’s not just about climbing a ladder – it’s about building a life and career you actually want to show up for.
So what does success really look like?
It’s…
- Waking up without dread on a Monday morning
- Feeling valued for your input, not just your output
- Saying “I don’t know” without shame – and learning something new
- Finding your voice in a meeting
- Laughing with someone over coffee who just gets it
- Knowing you made someone’s day better, even slightly
- Leading without needing a leadership title
- Saying no when your boundaries matter more than being liked
Success is progress, not perfection. It’s momentum, not medals.
And that’s where Co.next comes in.
We exist to empower early-career professionals, freelancers, changemakers and quiet grafters alike to define success on your own terms. To engage you with tools, workshops, mentors and moments that spark fresh thinking. And to encourage you through community – so you never feel like you’re figuring it out alone.
Yes, Co.next is designed with under 35s in mind – supporting those who are navigating early steps, big shifts, or first leadership roles.
But we’re proudly open to everyone. Because growth doesn’t stop at 35, and curiosity doesn’t come with an age limit.
Because the truth is, your job title doesn’t define your impact. Your salary doesn’t measure your self-worth. And no career path is a straight line.
So instead of chasing someone else’s version of success, what if you wrote your own?
With Co.next, you’re not just networking – you’re connecting. You’re not just learning – you’re growing. You’re not just surviving Monday to Friday – you’re building something that feels good.
Co.next is here to empower, engage and encourage. Whoever you are, and wherever you’re at – you’re welcome.
Come along to an event, chat to a mentor, or just see what’s possible when you start to redefine success for yourself.
