Mind your own way: build a Portfolio Career

🎙️ Podcast Invitation: Your Path Doesn’t Have to Be Linear!

I recently had the pleasure of being a guest on the podcast series “Portfolio Career instead of 9–5” – and it was such an inspiring conversation! 

Portfolio Careers are built with design thinking; first you think divergent in all options then you filter by thinking convergent according to your ressources.

Listen in

In this episode, I share insights on:
✨ how a portfolio career works in practice,
✨ why failure culture is essential for growth,
✨ and how I combine variety, family, and authenticity to create balance.

Hear us talking

The episode is in Swiss German – so you’ll hear me in my second native language, as I open up about my own story: how I built my portfolio career and continue to grow at the intersection of strategy, leadership, and positive psychology.

The Opportunities and the Challenges

Through portfolio career design, you can blend multiple roles while staying aligned with purpose and values. While portfolio careers can be energizing and future-proof, I speak openly about the fact that they also come with trade-offs:

Opportunities

  • Alignment with purpose and own lifestyle
  • Freedom to follow multiple interests
  • Greater autonomy and variety
  • Multiple income streams

Challenges

  • Clarifying your offer across roles
  • Maintaining professional visibility
  • Managing uncertainty and workload
  • Navigating systems that still expect linear paths

Since this is a German podcast, you’ll also find this blogpost below in German.
