What You'll LearnWhy volunteering for nonprofits' behind-the-scenes operations work is an untapped opportunity to build new skills and meaningful connectionsHow following "breadcrumbs" of community connections can lead you to unexpected opportunities and networks you never knew existedWhy building vulnerability and genuine relationships in community beats transactional networking every timeSome TakeawaysVolunteer organisations desperately need behind-the-scenes operational help but rarely ask for it because they assume people only want glamorous hands-on work.Following community "breadcrumbs" rather than strategic networking creates unexpected pathways to opportunities you couldn't have planned.Creating space for vulnerability in community gatherings transforms transactional networking into genuine friendship and collaboration.The tough job market makes volunteering an underutilised strategy for skill building and career direction.Where to find Allie DonoLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/allisondono/Where to find MillyLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/milly-tamati/Website: http://www.millytamati.com/Generalist World resources:Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/0qbGzMU...The Generalist Quiz: https://www.generalistquiz.com/Essays: https://www.generalistcareer.com/Upcoming events: https://lu.ma/generalist.eventsPositioning Guidebook: https://www.generalist.world/positioning Hosted on Acast.

What you'll learnHow to get diverse teams speaking the same language using glossaries and visual communication across global organisationsWhy using AI as a "trained co-pilot" on your own content creates better outputs than generic promptsHow treating your role like a customer experience helps you stay connected to the real problems you're solvingSome takeawaysCreating a shared language across technical and non-technical teams requires comprehensive glossaries and visual documentation.Using AI as a trained co-pilot on your own content produces far better results than generic prompting.Treating your role like a customer experience keeps you grounded in solving real problems rather than abstract technical challenges.Generalist World events succeed because they remove the transactional pressure typical of industry networking.Where to find Darren WuLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/darrenwu/Website: https://tutxi.com/Where to find MillyLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/milly-tamati/Website: http://www.millytamati.com/Generalist World resources:Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/0qbGzMU...The Generalist Quiz: https://www.generalistquiz.com/Essays: https://www.generalistcareer.com/Upcoming events: https://lu.ma/generalist.eventsPositioning Guidebook: https://www.generalist.world/positioning Hosted on Acast.

What You'll LearnHow to answer "what do you do?" as a generalist using the "I'm at my best when [X], and that's when I step away" frameworkWhy identifying your zone of genius (not just competence or excellence) is critical for career clarity and satisfactionThe critical mistake companies make when implementing AI—focusing on productivity instead of reclaiming human timeHow passion and communication skills create more opportunities than technical specialisation for generalistsSome TakeawaysThe "I'm at my best when" positioning framework helps generalists explain their value without listing chronological job titles. Finding your zone of genius requires distinguishing between competence, excellence, and flow state.Self-awareness about your strengths often requires external input because you're blind to skills that feel effortless. Event planning should prioritise depth of experience over breadth of attendance by designing for specific community needs. LinkedIn succeeds as a professional platform because it offers authentic connection without performative pressure. AI should be repositioned as a tool for reducing work hours, not increasing productivity within the same hours. Passion is the most attractive quality in professional contexts, making it the secret weapon for generalist networking. Communication excellence creates more opportunities than technical skills through three core practices. Self-employment as a generalist requires accepting trade-offs while building success on passion and communication.

What you'll learn:How to turn around failing teams by implementing honest leadership, accessible office hours, and graceful exit ritualsWhy building roles around people instead of business needs creates unsustainable organizational structuresThe CHAOS framework for systematically delegating, automating, or eliminating work that doesn't serve youHow training managers on hiring, retention, and self-management creates exponentially better team outcomesWhy teams must be healthy before they can be happy, and happy before they can be high-performingHow to budget correctly for hiring by adding 6-9 months to cover recruitment time and potential mishiresThe critical distinction between solving today's problems with contractors versus building tomorrow's team with full-time hiresWhy psychological safety and constructive disagreement are prerequisites for high-performing teams, not optional perksSome takeaways:Turn around toxic team cultures through radical honesty and permission to exit.Invest your leadership time in training managers, not doing their work.Implement weekly office hours where you only listen.Design graceful exits as carefully as you design onboarding.Stop building roles around people and start building around business needs.Budget for hiring reality, not hiring fantasy.Apply the CHAOS framework quarterly to reclaim your time and focus.Prioritise healthy teams over happy teams, and happy teams over high-performing teams.Recognise that chaotic structures inevitably lead to savage restructures.Links:Where to find Neda LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nedasahebelm/keshty: https://www.keshty.com/Newsletter: https://theminoritymisfit.beehiiv.com/subscribe@nedasahebelm if people want to follow her on IG!Where to find MillyLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/milly-tamati/Website: http://www.millytamati.com/Generalist World resources:Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/0qbGzMUMDCK5v3XbvRANmD?si=b1d7af51c24e43eeThe Generalist Quiz: https://www.generalistquiz.com/Essays: https://www.generalistcareer.com/Upcoming events: https://lu.ma/generalist.eventsPositioning Guidebook: https://www.generalist.world/positioning Hosted on Acast.

What you'll learn:How to build community with members rather than for them by co-creating value from the earliest stagesWhy successful community metrics focus on connections between members, not engagement rates or post volumeThe "win-win-win" framework for designing community programs that serve members, partners, and the organisationHow small teams leverage member-led initiatives to scale impact without burning outWhy community building requires slow, sustained effort rather than quick returns like social media marketingThe power of designing business operations around life priorities rather than sacrificing personal well-beingHow to identify if you're truly a "community person" by examining your emotional response to connecting with othersStrategic approaches to making founders and leaders "redundant" by building self-sustaining community systemsSome takeaways:Community requires fundamental mindset shifts from traditional growth strategies. Peer support within niche communities addresses isolation that broader networks cannot solve. The most valuable community metric is connection density between members, not platform engagement. Member-led programming scales impact while building ownership and deeper engagement. Small teams achieve outsized impact through strategic "win-win-win" thinking and clear constraints.Community cultures must balance consistency with experimentation to maintain energy and prevent stagnation. Businesses should plan life first, profit second and impact third to achieve sustainable community leadership. Breaking into community work requires emotional alignment more than specific skills or credentials.

What You'll LearnHow to leverage your network's second-degree connections rather than direct contacts when job hunting as a generalistWhy the 50+ demographic represents untapped talent with unique adaptability forged through decades of technological changeHow to position yourself as the "wild card candidate" when working with recruiters who prefer specialistsWhy listing multiple companies on LinkedIn actually increases your visibility to executive search firmsHow generalist skills become increasingly valuable in senior leadership roles where cross-functional translation is essentialWhy saying yes to opportunities that don't make immediate sense creates unexpected career pathwaysHow to lead teams of specialists without competing with their expertise through humility and translationWhy micro-networks like Generalist World are replacing broad platforms as the future of professional networkingSome TakeawaysNetwork relationships operate on delayed reciprocity and trust-building.Recruiters use LinkedIn as a competitor-mining tool, which disadvantages generalists but creates specific opportunities.The 50+ workforce faces structural disadvantages from demographic homogeneity in hiring rather than intentional ageism.Career progression for generalists follows a counterintuitive pattern where early-career sacrifice leads to senior-level advantage.Business failure is contextual and environmental rather than purely execution-based, making timing and market positioning crucial.Professional micro-networks are replacing broad platforms as the primary value creation mechanism in career development.Leading specialist teams requires deliberate humility and role clarity around being the translator rather than the smartest person.Career resilience requires accepting that lows make highs better while maintaining benchmarks for when to pivot.The entrepreneurship explosion driven by AI and shifting employment norms creates new pathways for midlife generalists.Links:Where to find JonathanLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jsimpsontarling/Twitter: https://x.com/JSimpsonTarlingWhere to find Milly LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/milly-tamati/Website: http://www.millytamati.com/Generalist World resources:Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/0qbGzMUMDCK5v3XbvRANmD?si=b1d7af51c24e43eeThe Generalist Quiz: https://www.generalistquiz.com/Essays: https://www.generalistcareer.com/Upcoming events: https://lu.ma/generalist.eventsPositioning Guidebook: https://www.generalist.world/positioning Hosted on Acast.
