For portfolio professionalsEvery stage. Everywhere.

Exchange is where portfolio professionals find the identity, the language, the method and above all the peers. At every stage, everywhere. Share. Solve. Become.A portfolio career is several roles at once, chosen so they multiply each other rather than just stack up. That is the easy part to say.Your is the part you have not solved yet. The shape of it, what it is worth, what you say at dinner. Paint your own . Not alone.
The shift to portfolio careers is here.

Introducing the 
Exchange
A new exchange, in the
old sense of the word.
People doing the same thing, trading what they know, becoming what they want to be. So nobody has to work it out twice. Share. Solve. Become.
The Exchange gives you a language,
methodology, innovation, ideas and peers.
A language for what you are doing. Words that make sense and survive a dinner
party or networking conversation. Language you can carry into a board room and
a bio that is your .
A methodology for which roles compound, which cancel out, and how your new business model is an evolving curation of your past, present and future.
Embracing innovation and all it can bring to a sustainable portfolio career and most of all your peers. People walking the same road, some who have done it and made it work.
Everywhere. Every stage.
All of which needs one thing first. A place to share, solve,
become. That is what Exchange is about.
Which of these is you
You are already somewhere
on the journey.
Most people are further along than they would say out loud.
-
C
OStill inside
You can feel it coming
Chief of something, or heading a function. The
in that title was
the organisation’s variable and it filled it in for you. You are wondering
whether the alternative is a real career or a polite word for unemployed. -
e
Just out
You cannot explain what you do
The prefix arrived before the plan did. Ex-corporate, ex-something, and for a while it reads as a subtraction. Every dinner party finds you without a sentence.
-
Solving
Busy, but is it compounding?
X is the unknown, not the problem. You have the elements. You are less sure whether they multiply each other or just stack up.
-
er
Recognised
You never called it this
Perfectly fine, thank you. Then you read what everyone else calls it. The point at which you recognise other people doing this and, far more usefully, they recognise you.
-
The name
It has a name now
What the work is called once the profession has one, and where the room is. The business world did exactly this with CXO, and nobody argues about it any more.
And underneath all five, one question. Are you Xing yet?
Not whether you have left. Not what stage you are at. Just have you
started working your . You can be at any stage and be Xing hard.
Your . Solve for it.

Why the Exchange
It appreciates with every person who joins.
Corporate careers ship with colleagues, mentors, sounding boards and gossip built in. Portfolio careers ship with none of it. Every portfolio professional eventually meets the same discovery: the work is doable alone, but the judgment is not.
That is why the centre of
is an exchange, in the fullest sense of the word: a place where value changes
hands between peers. More members, more patterns, more crossings, more value per
member. The network effect, working for careers instead of platforms.
Careers used to be held. Now they’re exchanged.
