Let’s talk about potential.

When you’re unemployed, people love saying you’re “wasting your potential.” When you’re working at some lame-ass company, they say that “your potential could be better used elsewhere.” And when some Harvard/Oxford/MIT reject posts on LinkedIn about how they’re using their newfound free time to volunteer on a farm in Australia, everyone calls it “exploring potential.”

I’m honestly so done with potential here and potential there.

We all have the potential to become something uniquely cool, something that uses our BEST strengths. We also have the potential to mess up, make bad choices, or never get the chance to do better.

If I’m unemployed and sitting on my ass all day, I could be exploring my potential to become a crochet master (don’t hold your breath). If I’m a disgustingly overpaid exec at a multinational, maybe I’m wasting my potential to become a Victoria’s Secret angel.

Moral of the story? Potential is everywhere. Always in motion, never wisely used.

The ones “wasting” it, or failing to see it, are usually the ones who don’t hire us, promote us, or take a damn chance on us. So maybe the question isn’t “What’s your potential?” but “Who’s willing to bet on it?”

News from Hei Dingo 🦊

Speaking of potential…
We’ve been quietly working on something that does just that. Our platform Hei Dingo is officially soft-launching 🎉

It’s your little career assistant: a space to uncover your strengths, see where you stand in the job market, and figure out your next move (no motivational LinkedIn posts required).

We’ve poured a lot of heart and late-night energy into this, and we’d love for you to try it out. Go explore it, play around, and see what you think, because soon I’ll be sliding into your inbox again to ask for feedback 👀
