Thanks so much to everyone who joined us on today’s Fireside – they really are a highlight of my month! In summary, we talked about:
– overcoming the feeling of needing to know/be seen to have ”everything” in place before we begin,
– changing assumptions that are made about us,
– networking with diverse experiences from rising stars to established names to learn from different points of view,
– understanding your value and how to talk it up,
– creating clarity so that both parties meet expectations,
– using generalist superpowers and when to niche,
– managing your workload as you would crops – so that they don’t all ripen at once…
– and so much more.
There were a few questions that I couldn’t quite get to (which I love btw, thanks for asking such great questions!) so I thought I’d ask these to our brilliant panel on here instead…

I’ll speak to both the investment in self and success questions:
I know I’m going to sound biased but coaching was hugely useful for me and it’s ultimately why I ended up also becoming trained as a coach. I was miserable at my 9-5 and so having someone else to talk to and challenge me and hold me accountable to change was why I ended up saying yes to a freelance gig and not a fulltime job offer.

Hey Adam Oskwarek-Sanford, great question! Lots of super experienced people on here to choose from. A great starting place to help you discover what’s out there is our blogs section.
In particular, check out this post from Ben Legg: http://staging.the-portfolio-collective.com/content/articles/understanding-portfolio-work/what-is-a-portfolio-career/
But, on community members with experience within start-ups / scale-ups, it’s worth speaking to Jason Rance or Ottokar Rosenberger.
Best of luck with exploring fractional work! And if you happen to get stuck don’t be afraid to reach out 👍🏼

Hi Adam – honestly think it looks great! You’ve included so much information about your current offerings, and I think your experience also adds some great colour to your profile. One thing to bear in mind is that when we search for people who are suitable for roles we use keywords, so if there’s a particular role you’d like to be found for, for example (and purely an example!) ’workshop host’ then I’d definitely make sure you’ve got that phrase in you…

Hi Stephen, great to see you again! I know Zarir 'Zed' Vakil has an impressive way of managing his pipeline, and that Ben Legg and Fiona Chorlton-Voong are experts when it comes to managing their pipelines so they might be able to offer a word of advice! We also have this article on how to build your sales pipeline which you might find useful: http://staging.the-portfolio-collective.com/content/articles/building-your-business/build-your-portfolio-sales-pipeline/
