110 - How Lawyers Think and Decide

I delve into the world of legal analysis and decision-making by reviewing the book by Kim Wehle, “How to Think Like a Lawyer and Why” as we explore the nuanced and analytical approach lawyers take to problem-solving. Discover how you too can apply these methods to everyday dilemmas and make better decisions. In the second half of the episode, we’ll dive deeper into the framework of lawyer thinking and how it can help you develop creative solutions that work.

Jill McKinley

I’m Jill from the Northwoods. Professionally, I work in Health IT, where I untangle complex systems and help people use technology more effectively. But at heart, I’m a curious lifelong learner—always exploring how things work, why people grow the way they do, and how even the smallest steps can spark real transformation. That curiosity fuels everything I do, from problem-solving at work to sharing insights through my creative projects.

My journey wasn’t always easy. Growing up, I faced a rough childhood, and books became my lifeline. They introduced me to voices of ancient wisdom, modern psychology, and the natural world around me. Those pages taught me resilience, gave me perspective, and helped me see that wisdom is everywhere—waiting to be noticed, gathered, and shared.
