Generosity is about a lot more than just money. We pondered this reality from a few points of view. And we found ourselves thinking through a lot of questions.

For example:

• Is it possible to think about being generous with time separately from money?
• Is it possible to scale our impact while still protecting our professional (and thus personal) time?
• In what ways can we extend to other people the same assumption we grant ourselves — that we’re all trying to be a “good guy” — and what are the mutual benefits of doing so?
• What kinds of expert knowledge, processes, network connections, and/or materials do and don’t we share..and why? (And what differences here should we be scrutinizing wrt how individual scicommers/trainers operate vs. the big scicomm organizations?)

Bottom line: Generosity doesn’t always have to focus on financials. So, how else can we create abundance, together, beyond the bounds of money?

Dig in for yourself: What’s a non-montetary form of generosity that you practice professionally?
