Passion Collective

Our founder Laura Best connected with legal professionals across three continents today (!), sharing her keynote on rediscovering passions in work and life. Thank you Meritas Law Firms Worldwide - these global conversations make our communities stronger. 🙏 💪 #keynotespeaker #professionaldevelopment #passiondriven

The quietest voice is often the truest. Not the one telling you to hustle harder. Not the one comparing you to others. But the one gently asking: "What lights you up?" That's the voice worth listening to. 💜 For more on listening to (and acting on) whispers: https://lnkd.in/eK5WAWjc #highperformance #intuition #passiondriven #talent

Your passion isn't just for "someday." It's not selfish. It's not unprofessional. It's not a distraction. It's your competitive advantage, hiding in plain sight. The very thing you've been taught to tone down? That's your edge. Watch how we silence ourselves: - We scan the room before speaking up, looking for signs it's "okay" to show excitement. - We match our energy to the most reserved person in the meeting, not the most engaged. - We catch ourselves saying "sorry, I get really excited about this stuff" - as if enthusiasm needs an apology. Try this tomorrow: When that topic you love comes up, don't scan the room. Don't match others' energy. Instead, let your genuine interest lead. 🔥 Watch what happens when you dare to be fully engaged. That's how culture changes. That's how YOU change. One unapologetic conversation at a time.  #Leadership #WorkCulture #EmployeeEngagement ~~~~~~~~~~~~ P.S.

We’ve all got PhDs in self-sabotage – whether it’s reviving that hobby that used to light you up or saying “screw it” and chasing that work dream, we bail the second things get a little uncomfortable. We know that retreating into "safety" can sometimes be an excuse, yet we do it anyway. As our founder Laura Best says, "None of us welcomes pain, BUT, try to relish the evidence of change it gives you, and know that it will lessen the more you try.” When we finally lean into that discomfort, it can be surprisingly energizing. It’s a sign we’re getting closer to what lights us up. What’s something you’re working through right now, whether it’s a personal passion or a work dream? Drop it in the comments—we’d love to hear about it and cheer you on! 🙌 P.S.
