Please wait while I upload

to the screen…

Who is in the audience today…?

Clinicians…?

Academics…?

Grad students….?

Early Career…?

Anyone else….?

Folks that just like to raise their hands…?

I’m not sure what’s scarier

To be a grad student

Early career psychologist

Or looking to retirement

But

What if it didn’t

make any difference ?

What would you do differently..?

What do you want to…

…do?

…accomplish?

…make a difference in?

Today we’re going to talk

about your career.

We’ll discuss means and methods involved in a

“Portfolio Career.”

I’m going to say a little about a lot.

Consultation/Using Your Expertise/Start-ups

Writing/Publishing/Blogging

Teaching/Speaking/Training

Non-profit/Humanitarian/Global

Boards/Advocacy/Leadership

Conferences

Productivity

I’ll provide a number of tools and ideas for work in other

areas of healthcare that may be atypical for psychologists—

technology startups, policy advising, center development,

creating a non-profit…

Opportunities to not only treat, but to teach, manage, consult, write, podcast, blog—in public,

private, governmental, technology, and non-profit venues—around the world.

You will learn about public-private partnerships in healthcare, global health, grant funded projects, and other non-traditional approaches to multidisciplinary, collaborative work, as well as altering, pivoting, or augmenting your career path.

It’s not just about private practice any more,

You need to develop your professional brand long with

your career.

Move in a direction that regardless of hitting the

goal or not, you have learned of benefitted along

the way.

Scott Adams

Processional Effect

As you pursue a goal, you accumulate knowledge and develop skills and abilities along the way.

Some of these are related to the goal you have chosen,

but many are not.

All of these new insights and abilities percolate inside you until, one day, you see another goal; something you

couldn’t have seen from the place you started when you picked the original goal.

You can apply what you have learned on the way to one goal and now apply to the new (pivoted) goal.

No learning is wasted.

“We work because it’s

a chain reaction,

each subject leads to the

next.” Charles Eames

You always have options…

Some may not be so great…

Of course, you can stay in healthcare…

Just be forewarned…Financial risks verses emotional

payback

There are a great number of resources available for Getting Started in practice.

But how do you distinguish yourself ?

“Tactical cover letter”

Many will vet you on your internet presence and search-ability (books,

slideshares, etc.) and LinkedIn specifically.

Of course, there are other

ways

as well.

Clinical vs. Research

Visiting/Fellow/Adjunct

Publishing academic articles can help get

book contracts

Books, Books, Books….

Being publishedcan establish your cred

as an expert to be a speaker

Use your expertise in other areas to being

value

Expose yourself to other conferences and

add value

But be careful…

Use Social Media, Platforms, and Tools to

Your Advantage

Everyone raise your hand
