A note from June Hi friends, It's been another busy week full of really insightful conversations. For someone, who is not naturally good at puzzles, this week I really feel like I cracked a few and it was very satisfying. Top of mind for me as always is you and how to best serve you. Many of you told me this week that you are frustrated with not being paid fairly. We hear you and we are working hard behind the scenes to fix this. We have lots of ideas and with ideas comes testing. We so...

A note from June I write my note today from sunny Crete on holiday with my husband and three children. A lot of people asked me if I was planning to switch off while I was here and just enjoy the sound of the waves and read the books I packed with me (The Psychology of Money and It Could Have Been Her). When I decided to build again, I made a conscious decision to design my life so that it all worked well together. I didn't want to have to switch off any part of me for the others. As my late...

Nobody calls it concentration risk when it's a salary You have one client. They pay one hundred per cent of your invoices. There is no second client, and they can end it with thirty days' notice. If a friend described their business that way, you would worry for them. That is a job. It is the arrangement we were all taught to call the safe one. Nobody calls it concentration risk when the money lands on the same day each month. Regularity and security are two different things, and this year...

The equation changed For decades the career maths was settled: Hard Work + Loyalty + Experience = Success. You did your part. Then the terms changed. Redundancies rising, AI reshaping roles, ladders quietly turning into lattices. If the old equation has stopped producing results for you, hear this clearly: the equation isn't broken because you failed. It changed because work evolved. This month June made that argument twice, once in writing and once live. This issue is both, plus the data...

The work is out there. Is it finding you? Let me share some numbers that stopped me in my tracks this week. Demand for fractional leaders is up 38% in the last 90 days. That’s from Go Fractional’s 2026 State of Fractional Work report. And 82% of senior executives now agree the single-lifetime career is gone for good, according to a global survey cited by IMD. Brilliant news, right? Here’s the bit nobody tells you. On the market’s biggest fractional platform, there are roughly 11 available...

Nobody talks about men and portfolio careers. So we asked three of them. Ask what's happening with men and portfolio careers and the trail goes cold. The pandemic pushed women out of broken systems and into consulting, founding and freelancing, and the data on that shift keeps growing. On men building the same kind of life? Silence. So we skipped the data and went straight to the source. Quickfire questions. No filter. Turns out it was never about escaping ambition. It was about refusing to...

I want to tell you something I wish someone had told me years ago. Not about what a portfolio career is. Not about why it matters. You already know that part. You’re living it. I want to tell you what happens when you finally know your type. But first, here is what I mean when I say type. Most of us have taken a personality test. Myers-Briggs. StrengthsFinder. The Enneagram. You probably remember your result. You probably still use the language. And there is a reason those tests spread the...

Let me rewind, because many of you have joined recently and we haven't properly met yet. And before I tell you what we're building, I want to tell you why I'm building it. Eleven years ago I started living a portfolio career without knowing that's what it was called. There was no name for it, no framework, no audit, no map. There was just me, saying yes to everything, trying to make it all add up financially and emotionally, without a single tool in the world designed to help me do it. I had...
