“A portfolio career is not the same thing as holding down three bad jobs and wishing you could figure out what to do with yourself. Rather, it is a scheme you pursue purposefully and positively , as a way to achieve financial or personal goals or a mixture of both.”

I would like to reinvent the idea of a proper job: it has many strands, a portfolio; its hours suit our lifestyle; it allows us to find and utilise the best and most creative parts of us; it incorporates and accommodates us as a whole person; it affords the opportunity to grow, expand and discover more about ourselves; it is based on win–win and co-operation; it allows us to expand into being a whole human being - mind, body, emotions and spirit. This is proper work! Nick Williams N”
