Ever scurried from one activity to the next and thought “how did I get here?” or “why am I doing this again?” Do your wish you felt more like yourself at work and in your life? What if there was a paradigm you could learn to help you answer questions about what matters most to you, where you can put your best effort (and where not to), how you could find rest and peace amongst the important and taxing aspects of life and work? Join us as we explore how to apply the Lazy Genius principles to our busy work seasons. Guided by author and podcaster Kendra Adachi’s idea that we get to be “genius about the things that matter and lazy about the things that don’t,” participants will be introduced to and apply the thirteen Lazy Genius principles to their current season of life and work.
