“Calling engineers, scientists, executives and ex-army officers launching their portfolio career.”
Transitioning to a portfolio career can be more challenging than anticipated!
You come from a rigorous background, have worked in teams, and have tackled challenging projects. You were accustomed to navigating complexity and relying on vast resources. Everything has suddenly changed. Maybe you miss the camaraderie and the banter of working with a group of highly qualified individuals. Perhaps you realise that being a solo professional requires a very different skill set from the one you have developed and relied upon for many years. Is your portfolio career not taking off at the speed you were hoping?
When your business card or ranking no longer speaks for you, you must do the talking!
Your rich background in the corporate world, science, engineering, or the military has given you a wealth of knowledge and authority. Your job title or rank in those organisations spoke to your skills and expertise. As a portfolio professionals, however, your past reputation is often not enough to secure your best engagements. It’s how you convey your expertise to help potential clients achieve success that counts: In a world of short attention spans, we have a small window of opportunity to make a memorable impression.
New Game, New Rules: To succeed, you must become an outstanding communicator
Failing to convey your actual value comes with real consequences. It can lead to missing out on new client work and the frustration of watching less qualified individuals taking roles and opportunities that your expertise and experience would have been perfect for.
Are you struggling to stand out from the crowd?
Faced with the question, ‘What do you do?’, are you at a loss for words, or do you default to reciting your previous roles? Does your elevator pitch or signature talk fail to engage your audience? For many accomplished professionals, the challenge of gaining people’s attention without the implied authority that a large organisation provides can prove unexpectedly daunting. When you struggle to articulate the significance of your products and services and win business, it’s time to seek specialised help.
