Career Portfolio

Creating multiple career opportunities.

Offering tailored advice, this program will help you decide if a portfolio career is the right decision for you and to build a transition pathway that leverages your international experience and abilities in line with your personal drivers.

Portfolio careers are fast becoming the career choice for many experienced executives who are in the midst of a global transition. Offering an extension to an already successful corporate career, a portfolio career offers you the option to pursue multiple opportunities and revenue streams whilst providing job variety, independence and lifestyle flexibility.

However establishing a successful portfolio career can be challenging and will often take longer than many anticipate. Like the ‘standard’ global career transition, many executives are challenged by a lack of visibility of the local employment market and a lack of relevant professional networks. Coupled with the need to translate your internal employee experience to a new way of working, these challenges can be compounded by the need to define your service offering and positioning to a smaller and more networked market.

I have worked with Margot for the past six months to build out my portfolio career. The practical application and frameworks provided have helped me logically map out how I approach the market and promote myself in it, having been out of Australia for nearly a decade.

I have been working with these guys for years now! With lots of hard work and timely communication, they made sure they delivered the best to me. Highly recommended!Having navigated the whole expat/repat thing several times, and out of necessity last year, I find these podcasts so helpful and relatable. Always looks forward to a listen.

These workshops were incredibly informative and practical and helped me focus on what to do next. Meeting others who were on the same path was also very reassuring.
