Sheila Wilkinson has many titles: attorney, social worker, coach, speaker, and educator. She is known as The Joyful Lawyer™ because she loves what she does and who she helps.
I met Sheila at an entrepreneurial conference in October and was intrigued by the many different threads she pursued in her work. She is a perfect example of an entrepreneur with a Portfolio Career.
In this episode, we discuss the concept of Portfolio Careers. We talk about why freedom in your work and life is so essential, no matter what stage of life you are in, and how our culture is transitioning to be more receptive to that. Sheila also gives us some great ideas for how we can create our own Portfolio Careers.
We'll dive deeper into these concepts:
What work looks like for Sheila these days.
How COVID allowed her to reset.
How she helps clients dig deep to both see where they are and where they want to go.
Why we should be open to having multiple careers.
Why we need to focus on adding value, not just adding activity.
The concept of “Human Design.”
What the sunk cost fallacy is.
Why Sheila makes rest a priority.
