When You Learn from Your Mistakes
I always try to learn from my mistakes. When we learn from out mistakes, perhaps they are not mistakes at all. Last week, I was serving on a panel for lawyers in their first ten years of practice about how to recognize and avoid burnout. I have lots of thoughts about the topic, and even more thoughts about who needs to bear the burden of making a paradigm shift in the legal industry to promote health and wellness (and it's not the junior lawyers). I've written an article for Attorney at Work about that will be published in the near future. I'll come back and link to it after it is published. But here, I want to share my thoughts about what I learned by making a "mistake" during the panel discussion.
