Laurence Shorter in this Podcast talks about his ‘portfolio career’; Laurence has had multiple careers, which reflect his diverse talents. He has been a management consultant, a banker, an entrepreneur, a stand-up comedian and in the last 15 years has written 3 books.
Laurence is a clever and cool individual, who dared to change and move out of careers that he discovered were not for him, despite making quite a success of each. The road between each of these life stages was bumpy and emotionally challenging. The insights gathered on the bumps in the road, resulted in the ‘Lazy Guru’s Guide to Life’. Laurence’s latest book.
Portfolio careers are much more normal and accepted today. Not having one, but multiple, career(s) will require flexibility, agility and a good dose of energy. Not suitable for couch potatoes!
Laurence today is a public speaker and coach and knows a thing or two about resilience and getting to where you want to be, even when the line is not straight. In this Podcast we ask him about his career and what his advice to today’s teens would be.
