📍Metro Manila - International Generalist Day Meetup
International Generalist Day 2025 🌍
Imagine you could meet new friends who understood your squiggly background? Well, now you can!
Join Maria Exconde in Metro Manila for International Generalist Day - a global celebration happening simultaneously across cities worldwide on September 3rd, 2025.
This year we have events across 30+ countries and 80+ locations!
Maria is hosting coffee connections and career story sharing at Craft Coffee Roastery in the popular Podium shopping center. It's the perfect setting for intimate conversations where you can share your unique career journey and connect with fellow generalists who understand what it's like to not fit in a box.
What is a generalist? Professionals who apply their skills across multiple domains, connect disparate ideas, or serve as "translators" between different teams and disciplines. If you've ever felt your career doesn't fit in a single box, this celebration is for you.
What to expect:
Connect with fellow generalists in your city
Share and celebrate career stories in a cozy coffee setting
Casual socializing over coffee and drinks
Celebrate the power of diverse skillsets and squiggly careers
Be part of a global movement happening the same day worldwide
Meet others who also don't fit in traditional career boxes
Your host Maria is a former teacher and entrepreneur turned writer, trader, analyst, administrator and strategist - truly embodying the generalist spirit! Her favorite part about being a generalist? "I love the part that I can be great at 5 different things and move in various directions just like how a queen in chess does."
As Maria shares: "I'm excited to meet others who also don't fit in a box. Excited to share stories."
