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.

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.

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
