FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

United Kingdom – In 2017, nobody is going to step into a job with the age-old guarantee that they’ll be in it for life. Equally, with the advent of new technologies, there’s no need to commute to the same office or work environment for years in order to make a living. Times have changed, yet traditional work mindset and culture has stayed much the same.

As an acclaimed leader in portfolio careers development and top career coach, Steve Preston knows this better than most. Preston challenges disenchanted workers to defy the norms, pursue their passions and create a fulfilling working lifestyle of their choice.

In his new book, ‘Portfolio Careers: How to Work for Passion, Pleasure & Profit!’, Preston introduces readers around the world to the model and boundless potential of portfolio careers. It’s a true paradigm shift.
