Many experienced consultants reach a stage where they want more autonomy, variety, and meaning in their work. Charles McLachlan has spent over two decades living what he calls the “portfolio executive” workstyle, supporting multiple organizations simultaneously as a strategic leader, advisor, and mentor. Through FuturePerfect and the CEO Growth Academy, Charles helps senior professionals and business leaders rethink their careers. His approach focuses on developing leaders faster than their businesses grow, building the mindset, skills, and networks required to lead effectively in complex environments.

In this episode, we explore how the portfolio executive model works, how leaders transition away from traditional corporate roles, and why personal growth is often the real constraint to business growth.
