more on putting our genius to work in the law
I opened the month with this post discussing Dick Richards’ book on connecting with our genius to foster success and satisfaction in business and beyond. With the holiday season and New Year upon us, it’s a great time to contemplate how lawyering honors, translates and transmits our genius in the world. This post from the Self-Development Network offers some assistance on this front. It links to an interesting podcast in which Richards previews his approach and provides tips on decoding, or “naming,” our genius and expressing it in the workplace. For another perspective on the road to meaningful and fulfilling work, take a look at this Alchemy of Soulful Work post entitled You Get What You Give. In it, Chris Bailey discusses what might happen if we stopped focusing on quid pro quo and ROI and, instead, shared our knowledge and expertise with others freely, fully and without expectation of return. I wish you all a wonderful holiday time and a very happy New Year.
