In this episode, MBO Partners speaks with Connie about her insights from her own independent consulting career and the thesis from her new book, Building the Business of You, on how all workers today must tap into their own strengths to build and curate a "mashup" career.

She touches on how networking, not only with close contacts or when looking for the next job, is an important component of career success. She also about the need for enterprise organizations to respond to the uncertain future by harnessing the best talent-- “Tiger teams”--wherever and however they appear. She shares why she thinks organizations must design to a future workforce will include a higher number of freelance and independent contributors, by design.
