The Portfolio Career Blueprint Melbourne

A Half-Day Masterclass for Executive Women

Are you ready to design your next chapter?

Transitioning from a successful executive career to a thriving portfolio life requires more than a great CV. It requires a strategic roadmap.

The Portfolio Career Blueprint is a practical, experience-led masterclass designed for C-Suite leaders, senior managers, and current NEDs ready to diversify. We pull back the curtain on the financial, practical, and social realities of building a multifaceted career.

The ANEW Difference: No Fluff. No Gatekeeping.

Unlike workshops focused solely on getting board roles, this masterclass shares insights from accomplished professional NEDs who have created portfolio careers in

  • Consulting and advisory
  • Public speaking
  • Mentoring
  • Non-executive board roles and more.

Our presenters and panelists have successfully walked this path—sharing real learnings, honest timelines, and hard truths about career transitions.

Don’t stay stuck in the transition zone. Join a room of your peers and walk away with practical, actionable next steps to build the “Company of YOU.”

The Masterclass is followed by a networking lunch with other participants and speakers.
