I'm trying something new, a series where I share the stuff I've actually learned instead of the stuff that sounds good on a slide. This one's about Working Genius, specifically what happens when you sit outside your zone of genius too long without boundaries, or worse, you're grinding in your zone of competency and calling it fine. I talk about what burnout is actually telling you, why saying yes to the wrong things will wreck you faster than saying no ever will, and some of what therapy and a lot of trial and error taught me about this. If you've ever beaten yourself up for not being "good" at something that was never yours to be good at, this one's for you.
