The Portfolio Life: Balancing Work and Life

Christina Wallace believes in building a life bigger than our business cards. She views work and life as interconnected pursuits that can be balanced like an investment portfolio. By diversifying one's portfolio, individuals have more optionality and flexibility. This mindset also benefits organizations, as a culture that supports a diverse portfolio allows for more fluid adaptation. The portfolio includes aspects like family, friends, community, hobbies, consulting side hustles, health, and rest. Embracing this model requires leaders to embrace flexibility and provide opportunities for employees to rebalance their work commitments.
