Generalist World 🌀

So Ece Kurtaraner just dropped this in our Slack and all we can say is... TRUE THAT! What an *unbelievable* year 2024 has been. The GW team will be winding down on a year that's felt like our foot has been on the gas the entire time and taking some deep inhales, snoozy afternoons 😴 and solid reflection times with our families & friends. From putting ourselves on the calendar (International Generalists Day!) to putting ourselves on the map (a billboard in times square!) ... we hope we've shown what a tiny team with enormous dreams & a bias for action can do. The biggest thanks must go to *every single one of our community members* You are our raison d'être 🌀🌀🌀 If you've enjoyed, learned from, laughed at, or been like whaaat are those GW peeps up to now... say hi! How has finding Generalist World 🌀 impacted you? We'd love to close out the year with your stories ♥️ THANK YOU ALL, with lots of love & range - Ece Lindsey Nikita Emily & Milly Tamati PS: we might have a few christmas goodies to share over the next few days 🎁

We have a gift for you... 🎁 The GW team has been feeling the festive vibes and pulled together something truly special: ✨ The ULTIMATE Gift Guide for Generalists! ✨ This guide is packed with: 20+ exclusive offers from talented GW members 30+ unique gift ideas—perfect for the Generalist in your life...or, let’s be honest, for treating yourself.

The difference between an average one-liner and phenomenal one-liner? 59 minutes, a notepad and Lindsey Lerner. Every professional needs a killer one liner. EVERYONE. In fact, most folks need a few, depending on who you're speaking with. But so many (especially generalists!!) go into fumble, fidget or freeze mode. Stumbling over words. Listing in chronological order everything you've done since you were 6. Or dumbing down what you do (aka: diluting your brilliance!) Thing is, this stuff IS hard. You're an entire complex human with a zillion experiences and talents and skills. But knowing how to communicate that can literally be the difference between: - getting investors, clients to actually pay attention - having a hiring manager lean forward and say 'say more' - being the person everyone remembers from a packed networking event It's no surprise that "help me with my one-liner" is one of the #1 requests I get. So we're creating something special: a 60min micro-course to help you nail your one-liner. Literally nothing else. By Jan 1st, you'll have practised your portfolio of one-liners so many times you will NEVER STUMBLE OR FEEL AWKWARD AGAIN I'm thinking of also creating a directory FULL of everyone who completes it so you can a) get inspiration from other one-liners b) connect with interesting people. Lmk if you think this would be cool? Want early access? Comment "one liner" below and we'll DM you the moment it goes live! PS: if this meme speaks to you, you're probably a perfect fit 😂 🔊 shoutout to the team Ece Kurtaraner, Lindsey Lerner, Nikita Khandwala and Emily Cleland for building the products and tools modern careers NEED!! #generalist #getunboxed🌀

"You need to specialize." "Pick a lane." "Jack of all trades, master of none." Whoever came up with these limiting phrases can kindly see themselves out 👋 For the past 2 months, our Monday office hours for Unboxed have become a rebellion against this nonsense. Each week, I meet brilliant generalists who are told their broad expertise is a weakness. Let me be crystal clear: These are the people who connect impossible dots. Who see patterns others miss. Who solve problems nobody else can touch. And yet? Our systems keep trying to force them into neat little boxes. That's why this one hour has become sacred. It's not just a meeting – it's proof that we're not alone. That being "too much" is exactly what the world needs right now. To every generalist who's been told to dim their light: Your range isn't a liability. Your curiosity isn't a distraction. Your diversity of thought isn't unprofessional. It's your greatest strength. And we need more of it, not less. Join Unboxed and discover what happens when generalists unite: https://lnkd.in/e9jK5zbr See y'all at 1PM EST today 😍

Pretty neat ai application to try out and see what comes out. A linkedin rewind based on your linkedin posts of the year. Below is what was generated based on my year Tnx for the tip Shern Tee, PhD ------------- Here's my 2024 LinkedIn Rewind, by Coauthor.studio: 2024 was the year I discovered the power of connecting different worlds - psychology, gaming, and professional development. From joining HackShield Future Cyber Heroes to empower children through gaming technology, to growing our generalist community in the Netherlands, every step showed that being multifaceted is a strength 🌀 Some moments that made this year meaningful: 🌀🎮 • Empowering children against cybercrime through HackShield • Creating the Generalist Archetype Quiz (used by over 4000 professionals!) https://lnkd.in/eRKhHbKE • Organizing International Generalist Day in Utrecht with Milly Tamati • Launching my coaching practice focused on communication and productivity • Helping to build a Dutch generalist community ----- Three posts that captured the Generalist World community's journey: "For those who resist being confined to a single lane... who want to make an impact AND an income" When Generalist World 🌀 reached Times Square! https://lnkd.in/ejaxJpwE "Discover how your background makes you a valuable asset in the ever-changing job market" On bringing International Generalist Day to Utrecht https://lnkd.in/exBgVHQe "A game that teaches children to defend against cybercrime" Starting my journey with Flavour/HackShield https://lnkd.in/enqSrgHw Deeply grateful to the Generalist World community who showed me that diverse skills create unique value, my coaching clients who trust me with their growth journeys, and my colleagues at Flavour who welcomed me into their team to use gaming for good. Looking ahead to 2025: excited to empower more children online through HackShield, support professionals in embracing their varied talents, and continue growing our generalist community in the Netherlands. To everyone questioning if they're "too many things" - your ability to connect different domains is exactly what the world needs.

🚀 Recently, I had the chance to attend the "How to Turn Your Range Into Revenue" workshop, hosted by Nikita Khandwala and Lindsey Lerner – an experience that truly helped me understand the power of being a #generalist. As someone who has always struggled to fit my diverse experiences into a single box 🎁, the workshop helped me feel less lonely about it. More importantly, it offered practical tips to start crafting my own unique box 🎁🌟 In addition to the workshop, I filled out a questionnaire to discover my Generalist Archetype 🔍… and it turns out I’m a Translator 🎆 A professional who thrives on bridging gaps between different fields and disciplines. With 3 different degrees 🎓 , 5 languages 🌍 , and experience spanning industries from tech to communications, I can say this archetype feels spot on! 🎯 Whether it’s connecting technology with communication 💻 , the North with the South 🧭 , or business with social sciences, I move fluidly between these spaces, making complex concepts accessible and fostering collaboration where others might see only barriers. So, if you want to learn how to transform data into compelling stories and bring structure to chaos, let’s connect. 🚀 #CraftingMyOwnBox🎁 #Generalist #Interdisciplinary #Innovation #Purpose #Collaboration #Growth #Tech #Creativity #Community
