Whenever I ask my executives what’s missing from their lives, they usually tell me the same things. Purpose. Autonomy. Flexibility. Work from anywhere.
But then, the conversation goes deeper.
They start talking about excitement and feeling alive again.
“I want to do something that gets my brain firing on all cylinders, but it’s also compatible with my lifestyle and financial needs. And I don’t know how to get there.”
Well, that’s precisely what this workshop is about.
WHAT IS A SMART PORTFOLIO CAREER?
A smart portfolio career is a deeply personal career architecture that is grounded in your individual talents and skills, is held together by your valuable past professional experience, and continues to grow through your strategic focus, career choices, and purposeful networking.
Imagine your smart portfolio career as a solid tree.
The roots are your talents and skills.
The trunk is your past and present experience.
And the branches and leaves are your current activities.
One of the greatest risk when building a portfolio career, though, is branching too far or too wide. In other words, not being able to say no to juicy opportunities just because they are interesting and exciting, even when they may cost you dearly in the long term.
In fact, a poorly managed portfolio career is one of the fastest routes to burnout and personal bankruptcy I have ever encountered.
So, how can you mitigate these risks and develop a sustainable portfolio career?
That’s what we will explore and discover together.
WHAT TOPICS WILL WE COVER TOGETHER DURING THIS WORKSHOP?
During this workshop, we will look at:
- The potential ingredients for a sustainable portfolio career – from coaching and mentoring to non-executive board roles, angel investments, and academic work, and from book writing to paid public speaking, intellectual property management, and more.
- How to build a portfolio career that is solid and sustainable – not all over the place.
- How to make sure your individual roles support each other – and how to leverage your scope, expertise, and network to fuel your own success and that of others.
- Why professional networking plays such a vital role in building a sustainable portfolio career – and how to engage in strategic networking without burning out.
- The concrete, actionable steps you can take right away to start crafting the architecture of your future portfolio career.
During this workshop, we will engage in robust self-reflection. Come prepared to be fully present AND to take copious notes.
After all, this is your ME-TIME – protect it with all your might.
WHAT WILL YOU LEAVE WITH AT THE END OF THIS WORKSHOP?
At the end of this workshop, you will leave with:
- A clear understanding of the concept of a portfolio career and what you should do to start crafting the architecture of your own future portfolio.
- Inspiration and a wider perspective on all the roles – the ingredients – that can be activated to design a sustainable portfolio career.
- Motivation to network more strategically moving forward.
- A clear sense of whether portfolio career management is the right approach for shaping your future.
- A downloadable textbook that you can use anytime after the workshop to deepen your self-reflection.
- A sense of community and support – you’re not alone on this journey.
