One of the great opportunities that a Portfolio Executive’s work-style offers is the freedom to reclaim your time.  When I collaborate with others, this often serves as a powerful motivator for them to become a Portfolio Executive.  However, there is a significant risk that you shift from being very busy in corporate life to being equally busy as a Portfolio Executive, which may cause you to lose the chance to free up time to create more space for love. 

As the people I work with start to transition from toil, slavery, and fear to joy and freedom, they begin to cultivate their appetite for love and their capacity to love. You start to believe that you can love the work you do.   

In your corporate life, you may have found yourself in fantastic teams, relishing the experience immensely. It was incredibly thrilling and enjoyable.  Conversely, there may have been times during your career when the individuals around you, including those to whom you reported, exhibited the most negative traits associated with corporate narcissists or psychopaths. 

As part of my commitment to supporting people in finding more freedom and joy in their work and moving away from the slavery and toil many have experienced in their corporate lives, I constantly encourage them to look at their choices through the lens of love.
