Course overview
Your experience is valuable!
Think about what you've learned over the course of your working life.
We often spend years learning our business or sector and somehow forget that folks earlier in their career don't know what we know.
This is why your experience has a value - you can provide advice, guidance and shortcuts for others.
When you build a portfolio career as a NED, advisor, fractional board member or coach you work with great clients on specific problems where you have experience that they can benefit from.
I've spend the last year building my own portfolio career and created this cohort course to share my experience so that you can build yours too.
Whether you want to spend all of your time in these roles, or you'll do this alongside your career follow the steps on this course to launch your own portfolio career in just a few weeks.
