Marci Alboher

Daniel H. Pink, (author of A Whole New Mind and Free Agent Nation), calls Marci Alboher "the Walt Whitman of the new world of work."  A successful corporate lawyer in her previous life, Marci wanted to follow her passion for journalism, and in doing so, created what she calls the "slash effect;" a model for pursuing multiple careers to achieve success. Marci's written a book to help you develop your own slash career: One Person, Multiple Careers: A New Model For Work/Life Success (published by Warner Books).

In our 20 minute interview, Marci reveals tricks for seamlessly acquiring new skills while managing an existing career. Tips for better tackling time management. Innovative ideas for balancing a slash-filled life, and secrets for creating and capitalizing on the synergies that exist between seemingly unrelated careers.

Imagine if your work allowed you to use all your talents and pursue all your interests -- not just the ones that pay your rent, but also the ones that float your boat. Sounds impossible right? It isn't, as many successful men and women can now attest.

One Person, Multiple Careers is the product of over a hundred in-depth interviews with people who have built fulfilling slash lives in the modern world of work.

Marci's book charts a new path to career satisfaction: becoming a "slash." Be they lawyer/ministers, artist/innkeepers, or CEO/moms, the true winners in today's workplace are those who cultivate multiple passions, talents and income streams to create satisfying work lives. Celebrities like Bono and P. Diddy -- with their boundary crossing reinventions -- are emblematic of this new way to think about a career.

Marci Alboher is a journalist/author/speaker who lives the "/" life. A former corporate lawyer, Marci is a regular contributor to The New York Times and other national publications where she writes about workplace issues, entrepreneurship, and travel. Marci leads nonfiction writing workshops at the JCC of Manhattan, the Makor/Steinhardt Center of the 92nd St. Y, and other venues. She is also a private writing coach and sought after speaker on workplace issues and careers in nonfiction writing.
