These are areas we each need to address and find workable solutions to. I see career, productivity, and confidence, as the three largest multipotentialite challenges.
How will you get the variety you need into your life and career? How will you make time in your life for your many passions? How will you deal with self-doubt, the fear of not being taken seriously, or the people in your life who don’t understand? These questions tend to fall into three main categories: work, productivity, and confidence. It’s powerful to learn that there are many other multipotentialites out there, that it’s a good thing, and that it’s possible to be successful (an innovator, even)!īut once you realize that you’re a multipotentialite, and that you’re okay, there are often a slew of questions that follow. People usually feel a profound sense of relief when they realize that there is nothing wrong with them, that they aren’t flaky or indecisive, they’re a multipod. Embracing your multipotentiality is just the first step Since everyone’s talking about the TED talk right now, I thought it would be a good time to write a post about the things I didn’t have time to say in my twelve minutes. I finally landed on the catch phrase “embrace your inner wiring,” but really my idea worth spreading had more to do with the idea of the multipotentialite itself that’s what I wanted people to walk away with. The speaking committee kept prodding me to narrow in on my idea worth spreading and cut anything that didn’t contribute to it directly. The point of a TED talk is to share an “idea worth spreading.” It isn’t the place to go into great detail or offer a lot of How To’s. The time constraint drove me a little mad as I was writing and refining my talk, but it ultimately led to a more impactful talk (and I did go over time, but, luckily, there were no shepherd hooks backstage to reel me in…) The outline I had included in my application would need to be cut down dramatically.
Typically a TED talk is 19 minutes or less, so I was a little thrown. Then I was told that my talk had to be under 12 minutes. When I was selected to speak at TEDxBend last winter, I was thrilled. Thank you for sharing your stories with me. My heart has been in a state of perpetual explosion, as hundreds of emails, tweets, and messages have rolled in. First of all, a warm hello to all of the new multipotentialites who have joined us here at Puttylike in the last few days.
