fresh soil

The world is crying out for fast learners, problem-solvers, innovators, and folks who can figure out how to leverage technology, and AI, at lightning speed.

But when you’re a generalist, the path you’re on can sometimes feel like you’re swimming in the dark. There’s no blueprint. No well-trodden map to follow. You’ll look around and feel like the odd one out.

You're on a path less travelled in the professional world – the path of a generalist. Let's explore what being a generalist means in today's evolving professional sphere, how it contrasts with specialization, and unlock the unique opportunities that you can leverage.

What if our career doesn't have to be a rigid ladder? What if it's non-linear? What if instead of following an arrow, it flowed? Almost like a river. Allowing for twists and turns and new tributaries.

Today's essay explores this idea, hopefully helping you frame your career as a fluid exploration. A flow toward mastery.

Understanding the Role of a Generalist Today

In a world that lauds specialization, being a generalist can sometimes feel like being a jack-of-all-trades amidst a sea of experts. Yet, the ability to adapt, integrate diverse skills, and tackle problems from various angles is becoming increasingly crucial. As a generalist, you aren't confined to one niche; you're the connective tissue that links different domains across the broader canvas of industry and innovation...

Our community includes some of the most incredible leaders in social impact across the globe 🌍 Here are the latest activities happening this week in The Bloom:

For meaningful connections with social impact leaders

🌳Keara: I'm working from Medellín, Colombia through July and Cali, Colombia, in August. I'd love to meet social impact leaders, human-centered designers or market researchers while I'm out here. Let me know if there are people/orgs you think I should connect with. My first stop is Impact Hub Medellín, but let me know who should be next :)

🐝Taahira: Hi Bloomers! Looking for speakers based in Barcelona/Spain. I'm working with my university to hire a speaker for our 'industry day' where we connect and inspire students to learn from professionals who are leaders in championing sustainability and social impact in the tourism and hospitality industry.

🌵Christine: I am very interested in knowing more about a program at the World Bank. I have tried networking with those who work with this WB program, yet have not been able to connect with anyone to date. I have been teaching ESL internationally since 2010 and in the early part of the pandemic, I decided to shift my focus to doing this kind of work. Any assistance in connecting with those involved in this program at the World Bank would be quite helpful. Thank you all so much!
​
🌺Irma: Hi Bloomers, I am wondering if any of you will attend the Feminist Economics conference in Rome next week. I'll be there and would love to meet up in person if you are attending as well :)
