Where do you see yourself in five years?
"In five years, I see myself as a trusted source for my teams and company. I see myself with a clear mutual vision with my professional partners moving towards unified goals. I see myself working towards increased responsibility, leading teams, and striving for goals that I haven't yet realized with the goals I've set for myself over the next five years accomplished and behind me as proud markers or milestones. I see myself mentoring others, offering advice to help speed their journey, offering them the secrets of my success freely."
