Gift #6: Flexibility
On the sixth day of Christmas, we're going to help you get more flexible! Not with a yoga course but with some insights into the benefits of diversification from Campbell Coaching.
Ally and Bob Campbell run Campbell Coaching in south Wales but they’ve a broad range of experience across different sectors of the outdoor industry. The over-riding learnings from talking to them are the value of flexibility and adaptability, to the extent of developing ‘portfolio careers’ rather than focussing on one ‘product’ or market. And, as part of that, being able to translate a core skill set to new activities and markets.
Key takeaways:
Be open to how you can use your skills in different ways, or even industries
Develop a ‘portfolio’ to insulate you from seasonal or market fluctuations
Find a niche and grow it if you can
