Plan Your Portfolio Career

Do you aspire to support organisations at a board level, while enjoying the freedom and flexibility of a portfolio career? Building a successful and sustainable portfolio or work requires careful planning and quality execution.

The Plan Your Portfolio Career Program gives you research backed and evidence based strategies gained from thousands of hours supporting the most successful board level professionals across 30 countries.

Explore your options and develop your plan, on your terms and timeline, to build a personalised portfolio career to add value and impact in the boardroom and beyond.

Turn your career ambitions into actionable insights.

A portfolio career, also known as a board career, is when an individual pursues more than one engagement or source of income simultaneously. Usually the individual applies their various skills to different types of work from consulting to advisory board roles, governance board work or projects/part-time work, creating a diverse portfolio of work and income streams.

For many professionals, a portfolio career is an attractive option. It can provide flexibility, variety, autonomy and earning capacity. This program helps you to navigate that pathway – how to transition into a new role or to start building a portfolio career.

The Plan Your Portfolio Career Program helps you learn what to do and when to do it- providing a practical plan designed to build a engaging and rewarding portfolio career that is just right for you.

What am I doing here? It’s definitely clearer to me now. The exercises showed me that I actually have clarity about what I would like to do. And also how much I have to learn and do to minimise the risks. I had not really thought of my goals in this way before in depth.
