Are You Dreaming Things About Your Career That Never Were And Asking Why Not

Developing the Next Generation of Rainmakers Are You Dreaming Things About Your Career that Never Were and Asking Why Not? A lawyer I coach recently told me that I inspired her to “think big and dream big dreams.” It is amazing how words inspire us. I found great inspiration in my life when Robert Kennedy ran for the President in 1968. I was 21 that year and for the first time had an opportunity to vote. Young voters rallied first around Eugene McCarthy and later around Robert Kennedy. Wherever he campaigned, Kennedy drew large enthusiastic crowds and he inspired them about the future. Robert Kennedy ended each speech with a George Bernard Shaw quote that was very connected to his message: There are those who look at things the way they are, and ask why… I dream of things that never were, and ask why not? I practiced law for 37 years developing a national construction law practice representing some of the top highway and transportation construction contractors in the US.
