The world's largest online visibility bureau for female subject matter experts

Ambitious women innovators don’t need to choose between careers, passions, or skills—they can strategically leverage them all to build resilient, sustainable, and creative careers in complex times. This interactive session, led by Olympian-turned-life design strategist, speaker, and edupreneur Jessica Tudos, introduces the Portfolio Mindset—a framework for transforming diverse skills and passions into strategic advantage. 

Through storytelling, reflection, and practical exercises, participants will learn:
- How to map their strengths, align passions with opportunities, and navigate non-linear paths with confidence. 
- Actionable strategies to accelerate innovation, maximize impact, and design careers and lives that are unique to each person.

The Portfolio Mindset Advantage: Leveraging Multiple Passions for Maximum Impact

Women are living through a moment defined by uncertainty—global instability, shrinking protections, burnout, and an economy that keeps shifting under our feet. Scarcity thinking naturally rises in these moments: fear of losing relevance, opportunity, or security. In that headspace, women often turn on themselves or each other.
This fireside chat reframes that instinct. Using the lifeboat metaphor drawn from my book From Sabotage to Support and my Cultural Agility work, we explore how women can resource themselves differently—how to choose what gets thrown out, what stays, and who they want in the boat as they navigate dark waters. The conversation will show that abundance is not a mindset alone; it’s a practice that transforms how we lead, collaborate, and support one another.

Key ideas we'll cover:
- Why scarcity thinking shows up even among the most accomplished women.
- How systemic and cultural narratives fuel competition and self-doubt.
- The "lifeboat" exercise: what women must release, what they must protect, and how to row in rhythm instead of chaos.
- How abundance shows up in global contexts when women choose solidarity over survivalism.
- Practical shifts: language, habits, and interactions that move women toward collective power.
- How to sustain abundance when everything around you feels like contraction.

What's in Your Lifeboat? Moving from Scarcity to Abundance and Surviving Dark Times
