Beyond “What Do You Do?” Developing an Identity OUTSIDE of Work

This podcast is about human flourishing at work AND BEYOND. Work and non-work are often intertwined, but if we’re to flourish in life, we need to pay attention to the full spectrum of human flourishing. Today’s episode is probably a little more on the “beyond” side of the spectrum.  We discuss:

• What is your identity and why is it important?
• Work identity and the benefits of a more complex identity.
• Developing a balanced “you.”
