Build a New Income Stream for Tech Professionals
Aaisha Bhuiyan
Adjunct at Columbia University, Amazon
Create a 90-day plan to launch a new income stream.
Over a million job cuts were announced this year, these layoffs have exposed how fragile one income stream can be. If you or someone you know was impacted, you likely want to diversify your income but feel stuck because you do not know what to pursue or how to start. You have years of experience, but it is hard to translate that into a clear advantage, so you get pulled in multiple directions, overthink, and never build momentum. Even with a strong network and ambition, you may not know how to activate the right people or take the first concrete steps without feeling scattered, which keeps the goal obvious but the path unclear.
What if you could identify exactly what makes you different and build a concrete plan to leverage it?
The goal of this step-by-step workshop is to identify what sets you apart by mapping your unique mix of skills, values, and relationships. Second, we use the Goal Orientation Framework assessment and CMM tools to understand your core motivators. With that insight, we build a focused 90-day Career Moat Map to strengthen your competitive edge, craft a clear personal brand statement, and begin exploring avenues to diversify your income portfolio.

Testimonials
- Aaisha was wonderful in not only demonstrating the power of open communication and vulnerability, but also creating relatable scenarios for our teams to provide realistic input. Having this session allowed us all to take a minute and understand one another as both professionals and human beings- something all teams need every once in a while.
Sabrina B
Associate Director of Operations - I loved Aaisha's writing workshop! She is a great facilitator and really encouraged us to go deeper. I took her family systems workshop and was astounded by what I learned about myself and those I hold dearest to me. Highly recommend Aaisha and her workshops!
