Note: This is a replay of one of our most popular episodes from 2023

Christina Wallace is a Senior Lecturer at Harvard Business School, an HBS Graduate, entrepreneur and author.

In her most recent book, The Portfolio Life: How to Future-Proof Your Career, Avoid Burnout, and Build a Life Bigger Than Your Business Card, Christina makes the case for how employees are multi-dimensional individuals, and can re-think and reframe their relationship with their job and career, and to use portfolio and diversification theory to de-risk and explore multiple paths instead. 

During our conversation, Christina spoke about how living her own version of a Portfolio life gave her the idea to start researching the book, and why we need a more expansive mindset around how employees can navigate their lives and careers in a more expansive and modern way.

She shares her perspective on how people who are not interested in a more traditional or tried career path, can use the portfolio model to find meaning and success, and  she also makes the case, for how in the future of work, The Portfolio model can be a more expansive way for employees to manage their career in today’s modern world of work.
