'A guide to leading a balanced life.' ADAM GRANT
Gone are the days of a one-path career- embrace all that makes you YOU and build a multifaceted life that celebrates all your skills and interests.
In The Portfolio Life, millennial, Harvard Business School professor and serial entrepreneur Christina Wallace delivers a model for thriving amidst the constant disruptions of the 21st century. Adapting tried-and-true practices from the business sector, Christina makes Portfolio Living accessible and actionable for all readers through practical tools like her Balanced Scorecard, 100 Wishes Assessment, time optimisation benchmarks, and more.
