Living and practising from the heart
Manage episode 426883012 series 2420032
As one who has experienced significant adversity in life, Rugare Gomo understands better than most the importance of not just authenticity and vulnerability but also the imperative to be brave and live and work according to one’s own expectations rather than what might be expected of us by others and broader society. In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy welcomes back Rugare Gomo, a high-performance coach, author and former lawyer, to discuss how and why he left Zimbabwe for Australia as a teenager, deciding to study and practise law and his journey in the profession, and his realisation that – personally and professionally – he needed to approach life in ways truer to his values and purpose rather than in accordance with external expectations. Gomo details how lawyers can push back against ingrained traits and characteristics so that they can live from the heart, what went wrong in his life when he wasn’t true to himself, overcoming self-limiting beliefs and fear of asking stupid questions, how time-poor leaders can better create safe spaces for staff, how individuals can find safe spaces, how to practically start being braver and more creative, and how and why such an approach to one’s personal and professional has been beneficial for him.
