This week, Carmen is joined by Julie Fedele, founder of the Portfolio Career Club and author of The Portfolio Careerist, a popular newsletter for professionals looking to create flexible, meaningful careers. In this episode, Jules dives into how she helps individuals learn to love their work through the development of a portfolio career. She shares her journey to discovering fractional work, a model that’s gaining traction among senior-level professionals and executives. Combining this new structure into today’s organizations, she discusses how portfolio careers impact PeopleOps teams, as we see the integration of fractional employees into the development and management of permanent teams. Together, Jules and Carmen explore what it takes to build a portfolio career, how it differs from job sharing, and why fractional roles are reshaping the workforce. Jules also offers her insights on supporting non-linear career paths, finding talented leaders ready for a change, and empowering professionals to take ownership of their careers in today’s evolving job landscape.
