I use the word “inspired” too much (“passionate” is my other favorite). But Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World by David Epstein has truly inspired me to embrace my Renaissance Woman (aka generalist) identity. And it’s not just here and there, it’s multiple “a-ha” moments in each chapter.
Join me on a journey exploring why our “Renaissance Person” way of navigating the world can help us excel in the long run. We’ll read and during four virtual meetings, we’ll discuss what we’re learning about ourselves guided by stimulating reflection questions. But there’s MORE!!!
What separates the Renaissance Readers from a traditional Book Club is having our learning catalyze action! Here’s the choices for what you can do between each meeting. Our meetings and Slack conversations will be a mixture of discussing the book and sharing what we’ve accomplished (or plan to do).
Catalyzing Challenges
| Activation Challenge | Apply what you’re learning in your life. |
| Deeper Dive Challenge | Pick one or more of the references from the assigned chapters, read it and share with the group two to three additional takeaways to expand the conversation |
| Connecting the Dots Challenge | Pick an idea from the week’s chapters and think about who would find it valuable. It can be a single person, a group or an industry. Create a way to share it with them that translates its value. Then share your creation. This can be written, audio, video, cartoon, music or any other creative means. If you share on social media, share the link with the group so we can amplify your social media share. |
