Why a panel discussion on portfolio careers?

A survey by Resume NowMore found that more than three-quarters of women say that they want to make a career change, often because they need more flexibility.

That is probably why you're hearing more and more about portfolio careers.

A portfolio career means combining several flexible roles - maybe a fractional role, some consulting, that small business idea that you've been mulling over for a while, or a corporate or advisory board.

Our panelists will discuss how they've landed fractional and consulting roles, started a business, gotten on a corporate board. and the pros and cons of a portfolio career.

The panel moderator & event sponsor is Priyanca Rao, a photographer known for her stunning branding portraits and an expert on personal branding.

Our panelists are:

Michelle Hsaio, a consultant & fractional COO to growing CPG companies

Jubilee Po who launched Dewy Aesthetics while still employed fulltime

Erin Essenmacher, an experienced corporate board member & lead at Athena Alliance who coaches other women on finding corporate board roles

Let's normalize networking, even when you don't need anything. Add connections that may benefit you or someone else in your network in the future. That's how you build influence.

You'll get to connect with people in small groups as well as a chance to meet everyone else on the call.

That's why we limit the number of participants. And Schmooze members get priority.

Dates TBA

You're smart. And you're ambitious.

You know you need to get intentional & strategic about networking.

Posting on LinkedIn & reaching out to people you need to connect with are on your "to do" list.

What you really need is a group of people who are also working on their own goals! You can share your "to do" lists, encourage each other, & give each other the side eye if necessary.

1x a week for 4 weeks

3 to 4 people in each group

Our Accountability Groups are for Schmooze members only.

Dates: TBA

Typical networking events can be so awkward! You have to wander up to a group of people who are already engrossed in conversation & try to insert yourself...all while juggling a plate of food & a drink.

We promise that our organized speed networking is different! Instead of being left to your own devices to connect with people randomly, we'll facilitate introductions & help you connect with people. Come & invite a friend!

Join us for our signature event!
