In episode 14 of The Thriving Lawyer podcast, Kathleen Brenner and Carla Ferraz delve into the intricacies of vision and goal setting for lawyers.  

Building on their previous discussion about readiness for change, they explore the deeper, value-driven aspirations that can guide lawyers towards fulfilling lives. They emphasize the importance of fuzzy goals, which are broad, value-based directions, and the necessity of aligning professional and personal goals with one's core values. Through personal anecdotes and evidence-based methods, they discuss how to maintain motivation and avoid the pitfalls of externally-imposed goals.  

The episode also covers the importance of self-reflection and experimentation in achieving sustainable success. The hosts encourage lawyers to reflect on their values, set meaningful goals, and continuously adapt and learn through experimentation.
