- Diego Ezequiel Dubois: For years they told me that my lack of focus was a weakness. I skipped programming to graphic marketing to music and with every new passion I felt that I was left behind respect to all those who already had their goal. I was the classic apprentice of everything and official of nothing and seemed that the world was charge of constantly me that who covers does squeeze much. It's a feeling of loneliness, feeling of ⁓ dispersed, of having too many interests to commit to. ⁓ Really with one. They you that you lack discipline, that this informal, that you to a path and follow it. But what if I told you that this, that society labels as a defect is about to become one of the coveted in the future of work? What happens if the master of everything is about to become the owner of the future? If ever Did you that you too many interests and little direction? This is for you. If they called you a renaissance or if you concerned that your curiosity would an obstacle to your career, you need to this. You are broken. It is a weakness, your super power. The world is changing faster than ever and the era of the hyper specialist is taking a step towards a new era. An era in which the ability to connect different learn quickly and adapt to constant change is just an extra, but the key to the whole game. In this video we are to dismantle the myth of the one-time vocation and to show why people like us, the multipotentials, are only positioned to survive the future of work, but we are designed to lead it. Since we are children, asked what do want to when grow And the question implies a single answer. Doctor, lawyer, engineer, etc. All our educational and professional structure is based on this idea. You choose a career, you get a title, and that one specialty is what makes you climb a linear in that field for the next almost 30, 40 years. This model is basically a relic of the Industrial Of a time when efficiency meant dividing work into small and repetitive At that time, needed gears for its machines. And the specialists were those gears that could higher quality at that time. So this system worked well in a stable and predictable decades, deep in a single area, in single aspect, was a passport guaranteed success. The specialists were recommended with respect and good salaries because their knowledge of Nietzsche was a great advantage at that time. But here's the problem. That world, from that time, I think no exists. The ground is moving below us. volatility and complexity of the world we live is completely different. According to a report on the future of in 2023 of the World Forum, is estimated that 44 % of workers' will be altered in the next five years. Think about it, they are pushing us professional trajectories, based on knowledge that can become obsolete faster than what you take to say disruptive For a potentialist, this system is a recipe for misery. It us to silence our curiosity and makes us feel guilty for our dispersed and our desire to explore things. This pressure can lead to paralysis by analysis, is the fear of choosing a path because it means saying goodbye to everyone else. It you a persistent and the feeling of being an impostor even when you have a wide range of talents. You get lucky at beginning of a job, loving the initial challenge, just to later find yourself bored and restless once you master This cycle of intense interest followed by growing enthusiasm is often misinterpreted, often by those we are, bosses, and even by ourselves, as a total of commitment. The system was built for multipotential It our greatest strengths as defects and rewards a type of singular approach is quickly a disadvantage. Now that we see the problem, let's talk about the solution. And it with a single and powerful word called multipotentialist or multipotentiality or multipotentialite, etc. Popularized by writer and entrepreneur Emily Wapnick, the term describes someone with many different and creative You can hear other names like polimata, a of the Renaissance, scanner or generalist. Whatever you call it, the only thing that has a name for this way of being is the first step to start feeling validated. It's that moment of revelation when you realize that your brain is broken and it was configured in a different way. You are not failing in the commitment. You are having success in a different way of thinking for which our old school still haven't gotten the point. Being a multipotential is not a peculiarity of personality, is increasingly valuable of moving around the world. It is defined by three fundamental features. A powerful ability to learn new things incredibly fast, and a talent for the synthesis of ideas, that to combine two or more fields to create something totally new in its intersection of ideas. a long time we have been that we need to be consistent to be seen as authentic. Society says that having a coherent identity is the mark of a mature But trying to force that consistency can actually prevent us from being who we really are. Human beings are polyfaceted by nature and exploring different jobs and interests could be precisely what helps us understand who we really The psychological of this change of is total. It's the... ...permission you've been waiting for to embrace all your passions without feeling guilty. Change the script from I'm dispersed and unfocused to I'm adaptable and I fast. Turn the I into I grow up facing new challenges and moves me. This is just a word Let's if I It is a fundamental change in how you see yourself. you to see your sinuous professional not as a series of wrong but as a rich collection of experiences that gives you an exceptionally wide You are not an master of everything and nothing. You are a master of learning, are a master of adaptation and a master of synthesis. And in the 21st those not minor they are superpowers. because the multipotentials are the future of work. The place of modern work is becoming an environment where specialists can feel fragile, but where the multipotentials are made to prosper. As artificial intelligence automatizes routine and global challenges become increasingly complex, the skills that matter have less to do with the depth in a single area and much more with the amplitude in many. This is great convergence. At a time when artificial the hiring based on skills and the new work models are remodeling the workplace at the same time, in this new world, the central of the multipotential ⁓ Superpower number 1. Innovation and idea synthesis. The most revolutionary usually occur at the intersection of different fields, we have already said. The multipotentials are native because they are transgressors of their borders. Our minds will always be establishing connections that specialists, with their deep but narrow could pass high. They can take a concept of biology and apply it to marketing or use an idea of musical theory to inform the design of user's That is possible only in a multipotential. of MIT Media the perspective is usually more important than the intellectual coefficient. ⁓ and ideas usually arise from embracing differences. He has observed that advances usually come from people who are experts in that specific because they a much fresher And that is why in a world that struggles with chaotic and complex such as climate change or public health, we are to desperately need people who can see the panorama and connect all the points that unite them. We need thinkers who can apply knowledge in different domains, always to a wide box of tools, of experiences, to create truly innovative truly powerful. The specialist digs deep, but the multipotential builds bridges between all those wells that he was building to be understand the entirety of Then a network of ideas that lights up the true innovation of what is around him. I told you, useful of professional is quickly The World Economic Forum has warned that a large part of the world labor force will need to be in the coming years. And talk about everything that's happening with the IA, right? For someone who has built all his identity around a single specific that is a terrifying For a multipotential, it's just any Mars. I multipotentials. We are only used to learning and... explore new worlds. We are experts in doing so. We are teachers of the learning For us, immerse ourselves in a new topic with an intense approach, extract the fundamental and get on with day quickly, that makes us completely resilient. That puts in a labor market While some workers can become vulnerable when the industry is altered by all the changes we are seeing today. So, the multipotentials will always in the change and will feel comfortable being beginners and not afraid to pivot to a new territory. As artificial intelligence continues to on repetitive things, most valuable will be the that artificial cannot easily copy. Creativity, critical thinking and, above all, adaptability. the future will belong to those who can learn, unlearn and relearn. That is the native of the multipotential. These people to be a volatile which seems to be safest that exists right now. Superpower number 3 Global and creative problem In companies full of specialists where everyone is focused on their own puzzle the multi-potential plays a crucial the can see the whole board. His broad experience base allows to act as transducers and connectors between different teams. We understand enough programming to talk to engineers, enough marketing to talk to the brand team and enough finances to talk to management. This ability to grease the mechanisms of collaboration and integrate different perspectives is a massive advantage, especially when it comes to leadership This set of in the of T, having a knowledge in many areas combined with a deeper knowledge in perhaps a few, is becoming a new ideal in the world of the company, the world of entrepreneurship and in the world of the personal brand. It allows a more holistic to solve problems and helps to break the thought... that can paralyze large organizations. Generalists stand out in ambiguity and are invaluable in fast-moving like startups, where roles are clearly defined yet and everyone needs to different functions. ⁓ Superpower number 4, empathy and leadership. The least discussed but equally important, is the high sense of the empathy of the multipotential. Let's our exposure to wide variety of fields and gives us a unique capacity to find common points with almost anyone. The multipotentials can identify with different ways of thinking and work what makes them exceptional They don't lead through a rigid but through passion for things, enthusiasm and the ability to inspire others by connecting daily work with a vision that is much broader. In a more global the ability to build bridges between different groups of is just a weak is a critical of success in 2026. recognizing the challenges. Well, but not all are flowers and superpowers. would be deceiving to paint the life of the multipotential a path of roses. Embracing this trajectory entails its own set of very real Our Kryptonite. Recognizing these difficulties of the multi-potentials is key to not discourage you, but to arm you with the necessary to navigate each of them. First, this real struggle with what seems indecision and professional Although we have redefined as a fortress, labor market did not fully The hiring who are trained to seek a clean and linear can see a curriculum with multiple apparently unrelated a warning You can see it as lack of focus or commitment, which can make for the multipotentials, especially at beginning of professional to enter a company. This can lead to a constant of being misunderstood. Second, the multipotentials, often, will fight with this paradox of the multipotential, which with so many interests and opportunities, can be paralyzing to choose what to next. This analysis-by-analysis can lead to pattern of starting a lot of projects but having difficulties to finish. The initial of learning a new skill is overwhelming. But once you've climbed the first mountain and the work becomes a matter of improvement rather than discovery of what you're doing, a multipotential can lose interest and jump to the next brilliant you have in front of This can leave you as a multipotential with a portfolio of medium-sized ⁓ and a persistent sense of dissatisfaction. Finally, there the pressure both internal and external. Culturally, we are soaked in the narrative of the specialist. Family, friends, people who often us with the best of intentions, can pressure you so that you simply choose something or sit down in one single thing. This can create a feeling of being a stranger and a need to justify your decisions. That external mixed with your own insecurities can be exhausting. That's overcoming this will require real effort to build self-confidence, to find communities of people with ideas that understand what is happening to and that they finally your path instead of it. Professionals Actionable for Multi-Potentials So, how do you use these superpowers and handle the you in of you? The key is to trying to fit into the world of the specialist and start designing a career built around your multipotential This doesn't have to mean a chaotic life. Unless that's your Let's see. Emilie Wapnik proposes four main work that allow multipotentials to prosper. And we're to them now. The focus of the group hug.

Think of a user experience UX, who mixes psychology, art and technology, or an entrepreneur who has to do praises with marketing, product and finance. will ⁓ find create a that is naturally interdisciplinary. The trick is to find a job like ⁓ is ⁓ possible that to proactive, proposing new projects, interdepartmental or even defining a totally new within a company that aligns your various passions with what the organization needs. It's about finding a container big enough to contain several of your 2. The focus of the career slash or portfolio. is probably what most people imagine when they think of a ⁓ multipotential. ⁓ It means having two or more jobs to a partial time, or freelance or businesses that you can run at the time, such as writing, consulting, photography, this approach ends up you an variety and allows to monetize several of your passions at once. The key to this working is balance and good management. requires excellent time and the ability to change projects quickly. In morning I this, in the afternoon I this or But is perfect for who needs a lot of autonomy and variety in their 3. Einstein's model is named after Albert Einstein, who worked in stable position and sufficiently good at a patent That job paid the bills and left him time and energy necessary mentally to pursue his revolutionary physical on his own. If you know who Albert Einstein was a multi-potential. This approach consists of having a full-time that provides you with and a fixed which finances and supports your other passions that are out of the usual The key is that the main job doesn't have to be your true and unique vocation. You just need to be nice enough, pay well enough and not exhaust yourself completely so that have some energy left for your other occupations and passions. This is wonderfully practical that separates your financial from your need for creative and intellectual 4. Phoenix This model consists of working in a sequential way. You will immerse deeply in a field for a few years or a months, during a season. You will contribute significantly to it and then, like the mythical like the phoenix you towards a completely different completely new. It has several lives in your professional This allows you that desire for deep and mastery, but in a timeline that ends up being cyclical and you can do this by between different companies or even making internal within a large organization, changing completely of position. each change, important thing is that you carry with you skills that end up being transferable and you're ready for your new adventure. The point is that choosing the right or even a hybrid between them depends on your personality, your finances and the moment of your life in which you are.

The very of what constitutes a good career is being completely The predictable of the specialist that once was the gold standard is becoming more fragile in a world that constantly changes and grows. Meanwhile, the multi-potentials, the curious generalists to whom it was said that their passions were too many and that their focus was too scarce, are perfectly positioned for this new era.
