Anna Mackenzie

Anna explores the difficulty of embracing a 'portfolio career' - an undefined path where you forge your own way instead of climbing a traditional corporate ladder. She reflects on the skepticism from others when leaving well-established roles to pursue independent interests, consulting, and self-exploration. However, Anna found clarity through a values exercise, realizing skeptics are simply behind the times. Operating in the 'grey' ambiguity ultimately revealed a future of infinite possibilities once she tuned out external noise and reconnected with her core values of independence, meaning, connection, adventure, and financial security.
