Corporations once built
to last like pyramids are
now more like tents …
You can’t design your
life around a temporary
structure
Peter Drucker

Educator and Author (1909 – 2005)

To reinvent work in its fullest sense we need
another word. ‘Portfolio’ might be that word.
A portfolio is a collection of different
items, but a collection that has a theme. The
whole is greater than the parts.
….A work portfolio is a way of describing
how the different bits of work in our life fit
together to form a balanced whole
Extracts from ‘The Age of Unreason’
Charles Handy - Author, Philosopher
Specialist in Organisational Behaviour and Management

You spend more waking
hours at work than any
other activity. Life is too
short so why be unhappy?
Take the 'leap of faith' and
do what you love!
Steve Preston
Career Coach, Author, Speaker,
Facilitator and Consultant

Combine and vary
any part …..
…..to suit your work-life
blend and income needs
