Thank you! This is really useful and actionable advice.
Hypothetical Example Let’s say you are at EAG to build EA Supply Chain and Logistics and you run into a software engineer who is eager to skill up . You could:
ignore them unless they work at Amazon, FedEx, Maersk, etc
try to convince them the best way to improve their skills is to help your group
In that 5-minute conversation, by listening to their needs and interests, you can deliver immediate actionable advice that could have a high long-term impact. Or you could focus on yourself: is self-focus more effective? More altruistic?

ask them if they’ve read the recent EA Forum post: I’m Offering Free Coaching for Software Developers in the EA community
introduce them to other software developers/engineers at EAG and in your professional network
encourage them to talk to someone at EA Virtual Programs about if being a facilitator is helpful for learning soft skills
mention the High Impact Professionals session you attended and its relevance to them
