Who am I, now? How to build a career outside of corporate in the age of AI

​Work is changing faster than our identities are. Full-time, linear careers aren't the default anymore. Many of us are leaving corporate roles, starting something of our own, or rebuilding after a big transition.

​What we don’t often realise is that in losing a job we also lose a chunk of how we've defined ourselves.

​Ella sits down with Iwana to talk through what happens to your sense of self when you step outside traditional employment, and how to consciously rebuild a portfolio of work, income, and identity that fits who you are now, and not who your last job title said you were.

​This is for you if you're:

• ​Thinking about leaving full time employment or a traditional career path

• ​Already self-employed: freelancing, consulting, coaching, creating,  and want more structure

• ​Piecing together a portfolio career: multiple income streams, roles, projects

• ​Rebuilding your work identity after a major change: relocation, layoff, burnout, caregiving

​Ella Writer is a transformational coach and the founder of bright yellow - a coaching and social science practice for the human experience of work. Ella spent a decade in consulting before building a practice around one question: who are we when work changes? She helps people navigate identity and transition, rebuilding work that fits who they are now, not just what they've done.

​Iwana Johannsen is the founder of Afterwork, a writer, and a portfolio career mentor exploring how AI is reshaping work, careers, and identity. Her work helps people make sense of the larger shifts in society and turn them into practical decisions about their own careers. Through her writing and 1:1 mentoring, she helps people move beyond jobs and design more self-authored ways of working.
