Building on their previous discussion, Siobhán introduces key ideas from her new book Reframe, exploring what defines a generalist, why their careers often look nonlinear, and how their curiosity, adaptability, and pattern-connecting strengths are uniquely suited to today’s fast-changing world. Together, they reflect on their own zigzag career paths, the environments where generalists thrive, and why this often unseen group is critical for navigating complexity, leading change, and driving impact across organizations.
