The Generalist Code - MUST HEAR!

Last Friday I stood in front of a room full of women from industry, logistics, energy and ports. The theme was how we shape the next generation of changemakers.In my panel sat a young woman in her late twenties. She told the room she felt she did not yet have the level of detail her peers had. That she was still catching up.I asked her one question: is it possible that you are a generalist?She went quiet. Because she recognised something.In this episode I unpack what that moment revealed — about the misidentification that keeps capable women silent, about why the gender pay gap is as much a recognition problem as a negotiation problem, and about what actually changes when a woman stops measuring herself against a standard that was never designed for her profile.The generalist is not the specialist who has not yet arrived. She is the leader the boardroom cannot function without — in a role that almost nobody has ever correctly named for her.This is The Generalist Code.
