I truly believe being a generalist is a superpower.

In this week’s podcast episode, Maya & I chat about what it’s like to be a generalist and how it became her superpower.

Check out these great tips for generalists Maya shared during the episode:

> Embrace variety instead of running from it.

Having multiple interests is a strength. It keeps you adaptable and brings a unique perspective to problem-solving.

> Redefine what success looks like for you.

Success doesn’t mean mastering one thing. It’s about creating a versatile toolkit from a breadth of experiences.

> Don’t forget to pass on what you learn.

It’s up to us to show the next generation that curiosity and exploration can be their greatest asset, without the pressure to “stick to one thing.”

When doing salary negotiation, who is more important – you or the person you are asking this question to?

That was the most impactful question I was asked in my latest podcast episode with Jamila Brown.

Jamila shares how in salary negotiations we tend to be worried about making the other person uncomfortable.

What if we flip the script and realize our family and our career goals are more important than the uncomfortable feeling of having a tough conversation?

When we truly know our goals and how we make an impact at work, we can confidently ask for what we want.

Tune into the episode for more practical steps to understand your worth and confidently negotiate your salary!
