And what do you do?

My upcoming flight to Seattle should afford me some time to check out my friend Katie Ledger’s book which was published last week. It’s all about portfolio careers and written in conjunction with Barrie Hopson.

What is a portfolio career? You can check out the excellent accompanying blog to find out (or buy the book of course) – essentially it’s about having a number of different jobs, typically for different clients that afford a lot of flexibility and diversity with which to make the most of your skills. As the blog says examples are the events organiser who teaches Pilates, the lawyer who is a food journalist, or the lighting designer who is a photographer and Reiki Master.

You can grab an excerpt from the book or go buy it from Amazon and the usual places. A bonus is the inclusion of a number of Hugh MacLeod cartoons

Congrats to Katie and Barrie on the release of the book. I know it’s been a labour of love and they have my utmost respect for doing something I keep promising myself I will do. One day.
