Work and identity
Gaze Burt Lawyers
Level 5, 57 Symonds Street, Auckland
When you meet someone for the first time and introductions have been made, it’s not long before the inevitable question arises: “And what do you do?”. We live in an age when our sense of self is deeply shaped by our work. Whether consciously or sub-consciously, many of us are captured by the phrase ‘I am what I do’.
In his years working as a journalist, then mentor and spiritual advisor to working professionals, Andrew Laird has seen first-hand the dangers of the ‘I am what I do’ mantra.
Join us for our first Auckland City Legal for 2025 as Andrew tackles the issue of work and identity head-on. He’ll reveal how the I-am-what-I-do mindset can enslave us all, and show us a path forward to freedom and hope.
