What’s Your Work?

20-12-2021 • 1 hr 12 mins

"This is the beautiful gift that you can give yourself"

At the end of the year, the team at People and Their Brilliance sit down to reflect on where they are at and what is the work they want to do moving forward. First, Harry leads a group discussion of what they want to bring to this episode’s conversation, thinking about “what is the best use of our time together?” Then Darius hears each of the burning questions, opening up a conversation around drive, confidence, motivation and action. At the root of all these themes is the courage and skill of asking the question: “Is what I am doing wanted and needed?” It can be so easy to sleepwalk through life, unaware of the answer to that question. By being in that question, and confronting the answer, so many possibilities open up.
