Reframe

""Reframe is both a practical guide and a salve for the soul. It gives language to the unspoken truths many of us live with, explaining why we think and act as we do. For those of us who are Generalists, it shines a light on the often-invisible value we bring to the world and reminds us that we're not alone. Reading it gave me clarity about my own winding path and affirmed that the perspective we carry, while sometimes isolating, is exactly what's needed in times of change."" Midy Aponte-Vargas, President and Founder, Civil Strategies ""In a world of narrow career paths and siloed experience, Siobhán O'Riordan offers up a practical guide for the entrepreneurs, intrapreneurs, operational wizards, project leads, people managers, and leaders who bring expansive thinking, considered actions, and a desire to work across systems to solve entrenched problems."" Gerald Chertavian, Founder and Advisor, YearUp United and Senior Lecturer, Harvard Business School ""As a philanthropic futurist, I spend my days helping visionary leaders prepare for what's next. The pace of change isn't slowing down. The leaders who thrive will be the ones who can navigate volatility with creativity and range. Reframe is a practical and affirming blueprint for how to do just that."" Trista Harris, President of FutureGood and author of Future Good ""Being a Generalist in a Specialist's world is stressful. Most of us need to work to live, and that means we usually don't have the luxury of experimenting with our livelihood. There's an enormous amount of pressure-some self-imposed, but much of it very real-to ""figure it out."" I entered my career with few connections and minimal skills to self-advocate, so it took years of mentorship and trial and error to receive the kind of validation a book like this could have given me. It's comforting to know that you're not alone, and invaluable to hear that you have unique strengths that others don't."" Cassy Krueger, Organizational Effectiveness & Culture Designer ""Siobhán O'Riordan has written the book so many of us have been waiting for-especially those who've never quite fit neatly into one box. Reframe is like a permission slip for anyone who's ever felt like a 'jack-of-all-trades' but secretly wondered if that was a weakness. Siobhán flips that thinking on its head. She shows us that being a Generalist isn't just valid-it's powerful, necessary, and perfectly suited to the complex world we're navigating right now. If you've ever felt unseen or unsure how to articulate the value you bring, this book will feel like someone finally turned the light on."" Janine Garner, coach, speaker, podcast host, and author of Be Brilliant and It's Who You Know ""While the world celebrates specialists, Siobhán O'Riordan champions the questioners, connectors, and pattern-seekers who thrive in uncertainty and drive innovation. If you're tired of apologizing for your wide-ranging interests and ready to claim your role as an essential catalyst for change, this book will show you how."" Oscar Trimboli, award-winning podcast host and author of How to Listen ""As an investor, advisor, and educator, I have spent my career cultivating future leaders in both the private and social sectors. I know first-hand that the pace of change isn't slowing down, and the ones who will thrive are those who can navigate volatility with creativity and range. Reframe equips the next generation of leaders with the mindset and tools to turn uncertainty into opportunity."" Archie L. Jones, Jr., Senior Lecturer, Harvard Business School and CEO of NxGen COACH Network(TM)
