Join millennial, Harvard professor and entrepreneur Christina Wallace for a radical new model for work and life that upends the notion they should have ever been at odds.

‘In a turbulent world, this is a guide to leading a balanced life.’ – Adam Grant

Gone are the days of a one-path career: a contemporary re-evaluation of career planning that allows you to plan your life and work celebrating all that you are.

In conversation with her fellow Harvard Business School lecturer DJ DiDonna, serial entrepreneur Christina Wallace will share her insights into not only surviving but thriving amidst the constant disruption and volatility of the modern era.

She will teach you how to embrace the Venn diagram on your life and interests, shaping a professional and home life to align with your core values. You will learn to plan for an unknowable future, bypass the broken economic models that millennials and Gen Z have inherited from their parents, avoid the biggest mistakes people mistake in adopting portfolio careers, utilise the skills and opportunities available to you and keep both your bank balance and your mind healthy.
