191: Wisdom 2.0 - What We Learned About Relationships

Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast! Today, we're talking about what we learned about relationships at the Wisdom 2.0 conference we recently attended.

In this episode we discuss:

• Relationships in the workplace and how they can foster growth
• Why learning to cope with emotionally-challenging work can make you better at your job
• How lawyers tend to neglect their emotional brain and how this can impact your work life
• Why it’s important to be a better communicator and steps to do so
• How to advocate to a superior about why your skills are better used elsewhere (not on boring document review)
• The importance of paying attention to what and how you are emailing
