Today, there are many options to working.  These may include part-time jobs, project work or self-employment, sometimes a combination of them, providing multiple streams of income.These options can allow us to take part in the workforce while prioritizing other aspects of our lives, like raising kids, taking care of sick family members, having more time to ourselves or building a side business.
Personally, I have loved the flexibility that these options have provided me throughout my career. Currently, I run IamBackatWork, I coach and advise women returning to the workforce, I am an executive coach, and I provide HR and recruiting consulting to Boston start-ups. It is a lot, but I manage my own time and I still have time to run and do yoga on a regular basis, as well as travel and spend time with family and friends, and other activities I love. I enjoy the variety, and I like having the multiple streams of income.

When I met Ingrid Goldbloom Bloch, I was inspired by her approach of helping clients think creatively about their career options.
I invite you to join Ingrid and I on Thursday April 25, at 12:30PM EST for a webinar on Creating Flexibility With a Portfolio Career. Ingrid shares a wealth of information on the benefits and pitfalls of this new work arrangement, and provides strategies to start building your own portfolio of work. Register now.
