Welcome back to The Game Changing Attorney Podcast‘s “Road to the Summit” mini-series! As we continue our journey toward the 2024 Game Changers Summit, each Tuesday we’re diving into impactful conversations with the most powerful moments from previous Summits and speakers you’ll see this year.

In this episode, we’re excited to feature New York Times Best-Selling Author, Robert Greene.  Known for his deep exploration of power, strategy, and human behavior, his books blend historical insights with psychological analysis to offer timeless lessons on influence, persuasion, and self-mastery.

You’ll learn:

• Strategies to navigate any professional environment by understanding the social dynamics around you
• To discover true power from overcoming adversity and maintaining calm and fearlessness, as exemplified by figures like 50 Cent
• How discovering and aligning with your life’s task leads to true success, where fulfillment far outweighs financial gain

Are you looking to utilize your power to its full potential? This episode will encourage you to examine your personal approach to leadership, unlock your inner strength, and build deeper connections with the members of your firm. The road to the Summit is here!
