Beyond the Legal Lens Podcast

Do you ever feel you can't be your true self at work? Only using half of your brain? Holding back your sense of humor? Beyond the Legal Lens is a podcast about finding your authentic self in the workplace. It's inspired by the late Frederick Busch, a Professor of Literature at Colgate University, who emphasized identifying through whose lens are we looking while reading a story? Are we ourselves or trying to be what we think the world wants us to be?

I'm Emily Witt. Join me as I dive into conversations about how people can show their true colors in a professional setting. This can lead to success and fulfillment. Each guest offers tips about how to thrive by bringing the most important person in their lives to the office.
