Why Choose a Portfolio Career Today?

Work that Works – For real People in Motion, not just Resumes.

Portfolio careers are thoughtfully designed to integrate your values, skills, and income. This programme helps you map yours.

In this course you’ll design a career that reflects your energy, values, and identity – leveraging your experience and sustaining your energy.. Whether you’re expanding into new work or redefining what success looks like, this is where strategy meets self-trust and clarity across roles, industries, and seasons of life. It’s about designing a career that reflects your full potential – with space for purpose, income, and identity.

Why You?

Because you’re not meant to fit into one box.

Traditional careers no longer reflect the reality of today’s professionals and multi-passionates.

Instead of “one ladder,” people are building career portfolios: mixing employment, self-employment, board work, teaching, and passion projects.
Fractional roles are on the rise.

Common Struggles when building a Portfolio Career ...

  • Lack of clarity: Which roles belong in my portfolio?
  • Energy drain: How do I manage multiple commitments without burnout?
  • Financial insecurity: Can I really make this work long term?
  • Job uncertainty: With AI and automation reshaping industries, many fear losing their traditional jobs — diversification is becoming not just attractive, but necessary.
  • Social pressure: Why can’t I just “focus on one thing” like everyone else?

Does this sound familiar to you?

This program shows you how to turn that struggle into a structured, strategic, and sustainable portfolio career.​

How is this different from Andreia’s webinars?

What’s the time commitment each Week?

The live sessions run for 90 minutes once per week (Mondays, 19:00–20:30 CET). In addition, you should plan around 1–2 hours for reflection and practice between sessions.

If you can’t participate after booking, you can either transfer your spot to someone else or receive a partial refund depending on the timing of your cancellation and whether you have a medical certificate for your cancellation.

Can I deduct the expense of this course from my taxes?

In many European countries, job-related continuing education spending can often be deducted from your taxes. The exact rules vary by country. In Switzerland for example, you can deduct the full amount as expense and thereby reduce your taxable income.

Will there be breaks?

Yes. Each session includes short stretching and reflection breaks to keep you energized, focused, and engaged.
