My guest today is Dr. Sarabeth Berk Bickerton, the author of, and you're gonna love this name: More Than My Title: The Power of Hybrid Professionals in a Workforce of Experts and Generalists.
Doesn't that just speak directly to multipotentialites?
Of course you're more than your title, that's the nature of who we are and how we identify ourselves! How do we want to be identified in our work and life, and who gets to determine that? Who gets to choose what title we're known by?
It would seem obvious that it should be up to us, but it's not always easy to navigate that, nor to find the confidence and even the permission to say, "Well, I'm more than my title. I'm more than just the job that I happen to have right now."
More Than My Title was released in 2020, and now Sarabeth is coming out with a new book: Seen Known Valued: How to Achieve Career Belonging in a Workforce Obsessed with Fit.
Do you feel pressured to conform to not just a job position, but a work environment and culture that is stifling, incompatible or just plain boring? Let's assume that you do enjoy your work and career, but you don't want to feel like just another cog in the wheel, a replaceable part, a number.
And as a multitalented multipotentialite, you may have been hired for "one role" but that doesn't mean you should supress your other interest and skills.
Sarabeth's new book helps us navigate the workplace and protect your sense of self, and put the onus on the workforce conforming more with you, rather than the other way around.
The new book will be out any day, and you can pre-order it here!

In keeping with the spirit of this show, we encourage you to not just grab a copy of the book and share the link with others, but reach out to Sarabeth too, let her know your thoughts and feedback, and help expand this ever-growing global community of non-specialist mutlipotentialite polymath jack-of-all-trades non-conformist-add whatever other term you like fascinating people!
