What it’s about
For years, one title carried everything — your income, your identity, your week. A portfolio life swaps that single pillar for a handful of strands: a bit of consulting, some advisory work, a project you care about, maybe something new entirely. More freedom, more variety — and, done well, more security, not less.
From Title to Portfolio Life is a small, five-week group that helps you design your own version: what your anchor is, what strands sit around it, what you’d offer and to whom, and how to make it add up — with structure and the company of people building the same thing.
What we’ll cover
Five themes, one a week — each with a short conversation together and a little designing in between.
Is a portfolio life for you?
What a portfolio life actually is, honestly — the upsides and the trade-offs — and whether it suits you now.
Your anchor and your strands
Finding the one steady anchor and the lighter strands that could sit around it, using what you already have.
What you’d offer, and to whom
Turning decades of experience into one or two things people would genuinely value or pay for.
Pricing, boundaries and saying no
The practical side — what to charge, how much to take on, and protecting the life the portfolio is meant to give you.
Your portfolio plan, and first moves
A plan you’ll actually use and the first real steps, with the group behind you.
How it works
Live, together
We meet weekly for five weeks, as a group, over video — a relaxed, no-slides conversation, not a lecture.
A genuinely small group
Capped at up to eight people, so everyone is heard and the group becomes real support, not an audience.
Between sessions
Short reflections and worksheets, plus a private group space in the community to share progress and cheer each other on.
The commitment
About 90 minutes a week together, plus a little reflection in your own time. Five weeks, start to finish.
Your facilitator
Mags Treanor
Mags is a psychologist, coach and writer — and living proof that the second half can be the most interesting. She went back to college at 59 and finished her MSc, with distinction, at 61. She coaches senior professionals through exactly these transitions and writes The Next Decade for over a thousand readers on the same journey.
Her work draws on the psychology of ageing, work and identity — no hype, no deficit stories about getting older, just honest, useful thinking and warm, practical company.
