John recently read a book called Find Your Zone of Genius: How to Redefine Intelligence, Become an Expert on Yourself, and Make Greatness a Given, by Laura Garnett. Its principles are applicable to physicians struggling to determine if they should remain in medicine, start a nonclinical career, or do something else.
Laura is a performance strategist, speaker, and author. She works with CEOs and executives to identify their unique genius and purpose and leverage them in their day-to-day work.
She has consulted with organizations including Google, Pandora, LinkedIn, and 15Five. Prior to launching her own company, New York City-based Garnett Consulting, she honed her marketing, strategy, and career-refining skills at companies like Capital One, American Express, IAC, and Google.
John found the book so foundational for "seeking" clinicians that he invited the author onto the podcast, and this is her interview.
During the conversation, Laura explains several concepts from the book that will truly help us in our career journey:
Laura has developed many tools to help us in our journey of self-discovery. You can find those tools, and purchase the book on her website LauraGarnett.com.
