The future of work it isn't ahead of us anymore. It’s here.

At Connectd, we're watching a new world of work take shape, one where people embrace portfolio careers and startups scale smarter with fractional talent.

Our team just released a new whitepaper exploring what this shift really means.

If you’ve been curious about where work is heading (and how it’s already changing), it’s worth a read.

5 ways to actually practice gratitude in your life:

1. Look for glimmers
Glimmers are the opposite of triggers. They're those tiny moments in your day that make you feel joy, peace, or gratitude. Once you train your brain to be on the lookout for them, they start appearing everywhere.

2. Snap a joy photo
Take one picture per day of something that brought you joy. A cup of coffee, a funny street sign, the way the sunlight hits your desk. Not for social media—just for you.

3. Say it when you feel it
When someone does something you appreciate, actually tell them. Doesn't have to be profound. Just: "I'm glad you're in my life" or "Thanks for always making me laugh."

4. Practice future nostalgia
Throughout your day, pause and ask: "Will I miss this moment someday?" Your current morning routine, the commute you complain about, even your kid's phase of asking "why?" fifty times a day.

5. Add an upside to your complaints
If you catch yourself venting about something, tack on one small silver lining. "This weather is awful…but at least I get to wear my favorite jacket."

What is your favorite way to practice gratitude?

30 short habits with a massive return on life 

Throughout my time at Connectd, I keep hearing the same thing from founders:
Once they bring the right advisor on board, something shifts.

Sometimes the impact is obvious. Their pitch tightens up, the story finally lands and investor meetings feel completely different. Other times it is more subtle, but you can sense it. They show up with more clarity and direction, and investors pick up on that straight away.

If you’re getting ready for a round, we’re running a session on 26 November at 2PM GMT / 9AM EST about how advisors can help founders raise with more confidence.

Global Board Member & Advisor, Speaker, Mentor & Consultant at O.H Degani Consultants - helping businesses create & implement profitable growth strategies, through leveraging innovative Digital & Customer Experience

Happy & proud to end my first year with Connectd on a high note, by becoming a Mentor in the Transition To Portfolio programme, which will allow me to help more great people with their journey moving from executive full-time roles to flexible portfolio work, as many are doing these days in growing numbers.

It's funny actually as more mentoring wasn't even one of the reasons I originally joined Connectd (it's what I've been doing the longest), and I love it (always looking to honestly share from my experience and help others), so very happy with the additional opportunity, and it was a nice reminder for me that good things happen when you're around good people, even when you don't expect them :)

Which brings me to looking back on why I joined Connectd and what I did during my first year to achieve that, which is something many people have been asking me about, so speaking of sharing, trying to reflect & summarise below (and show in the photos):

- I wanted to take the next step in my journey, which meant more paid Board Advisor and Board Member / Non-Executive Director (NED) roles, and my approach to this strategic investment has been to go "all in" in order to maximise the value I get out of it, in a holistic way.

- Did the online training properly & quickly and got my Board Advisor certificate 

- Got my mentor, which wasn't easy for me as I'm not used to being the mentee, but I knew I needed it to challenge myself and indeed he did exactly that! 

- Attended every event I could, online and in person in London, which got me to meet founders, other advisors and the Connectd team (lead by the impressive & ambitious Roei Samuel, always supportive & full of energy!), and also listen to people with far more experience who openly shared their stories, advice & tips

- Got my placement as a Board Advisor at Lydia, which has been a great match for me (done fully by the Connectd team!) as I really enjoy working with their founder Nok Orrason, a special person

- Spending time on a weekly basis finding the most relevant opportunities on the platform, reaching out and having good conversations with the founders

- Reached out to the very supporting team with every question (and I had a few!), especially to George Kimpton-Moss who got me on board, and the super-responsive Jon Teale!

- Interviewed to share my story which was featured on the website

- Leveraged all the above on LinkedIn (updating my profile, liking, commenting, posting, connecting, messaging)

As a result, I am happy to be on track to achieve my strategic goals, with some paid & blended Board Advisor roles agreed and some in progress, on the Connectd platform and outside it, and not least important (maybe more), better knowledge & understanding of this tricky space, clarity of my own way, and stronger confidence.

Too many people to thank here so please see the comments!

Looking forward to my second year, where the focus will be on paid Board Member / NED roles - bring it on :)

How to do a hard reset on your life before 2026:

How to do a hard reset on your life before 2026

What are you doing about collecting mentors in your career? I view them as absolutely essential to growth, especially the ones who are skilled at asking the right questions of you & not just teaching via their own experience. 

I've been really lucky to have several key figures that have helped to guide and shape my journey. I've even become a mentor myself in recent years, which is an unbelievably fulfilling way to invest time. 

The trick is to figure out who's got what you need for whatever the next stage of growth is, not an easy task and can require some luck and persistence.

Connectd helps take the guesswork out of the process for many with mentor matching. Our community does much more than this with thousands aligned on growth mindset. 

Challenge to anyone reading this, put yourself out there today for either side. You won't regret it!

What if the career “safety net” was the thing holding you back?

Volker Ballueder, one of our mentors, learned this after years in corporate and a few redundancies that forced him to rethink what “security” actually meant.

What started as a small fractional role turned into something better, more freedom, stability and the confidence that comes from multiple income streams.

More people are making that same shift, and startups are driving the demand faster than ever.

Finding freedom in building a fractional career

Well calculated, planned & executed risk is still better than no risk at all. Personally I'd always start with coaching, gain clarity on your plan then go for it without hesitation. 

As we near the end of the year lots will be thinking about what next? I suggest the very next thing is read the post from Tim below, and ask yourself why you're doing any of it? Some will carry on, others need to make a drastic change.

The safe career path is the riskiest decision you'll ever make.

Playing it safe guarantees you'll die with regrets.

━━━━━

Met a 58-year-old accountant last week. Same desk for 22 years.

Never asked for a promotion. Never changed companies. Never tried anything new.

"I played it safe," he said. "Now I'm too old to take risks."

He's not old. He's institutionalized.

━━━━━

The myth of the safe path:

Stable job = Security
Same company = Loyalty pays off
Avoid risks = Avoid failure

Reality check:

That stable job? Gone in the next layoff.
That loyal service? Means nothing when profits drop.
That risk avoidance? You already failed by never trying.

━━━━━

Know what's actually risky?

Being 50 with one skill that's becoming obsolete.
Having a resume that shows zero growth in a decade.
Realizing you spent 20 years building someone else's dream.

The biggest risk isn't taking chances. It's taking none.

━━━━━

Two people from my network:

Sasha: Stayed at IBM for 15 years. "Safe" job. Laid off at 45. Can't find work because her skills are dated.

Mark: Changed jobs 5 times in 10 years. Started two failed businesses. Now runs a $5M company because he learned from every risk.

One played it safe. One's set for life.

━━━━━

Every risk-taker I know started terrified:

The lawyer who became a baker. Scared for 6 months. Now owns 4 locations.
The director who quit to freelance. Ate ramen for a year. Makes triple now.
The analyst who started a podcast. Everyone laughed. 100K downloads monthly.

Fear is the entry fee. Pay it or stay stuck.

━━━━━

The compound effect of playing it safe:

Year 1: Comfortable
Year 5: Bored
Year 10: Trapped
Year 15: Desperate
Year 20: Dead inside

Each year you don't risk, the cage gets smaller. Until you can't even see the bars anymore.

━━━━━

Take the f*cking risk.

Apply for the role you're not qualified for.
Start the business while you have a job.
Move to the city that scares you.
Launch the project everyone says won't work.

Worst case? You fail and learn.
Best case? You build the life you actually want.
Likely case? You surprise yourself.

━━━━━

Your deathbed won't care about your stable career.

It'll care about the chances you didn't take.

What risk have you been avoiding? 👇

As I relocate to the UAE and start this new chapter in my life, it also means that after an amazing journey with Connectd, I’ll be leaving the company.

When I first started my career, I doubted myself constantly. I wasn’t sure if I belonged in corporate, if I was capable, or if I could handle the pressure. I started as a BDR, worked hard, learned from mistakes, and proved to myself that I could do more. From BDR to Account Executive and then  Senior Account Executive, I owe so much to Connectd for trusting me, giving me room to grow, and allowing me to show what I’m capable of.

I especially want to thank Kutay Saygı, my first coach during my time as a BDR at the company. Such a talented yet humble person, I owe a lot of my progress to him. I’d also like to thank Jason G, my team lead, for being an incredible mentor and support system throughout my journey. Your guidance made all the difference.

Leaving Connectd is bittersweet but exciting. I’m so grateful for the experience, the lessons, and the incredible people I’ve met along the way ✨ .

Senior SaaS Sales Executive ∣ Driving Revenue & Growth

Before I move on to my next chapter, there is one last thing I want to speak on.

If there is one thing I have really learned from my time at Connectd  

it is that no matter how senior you are in your career

anyone can be affected by change.

Don’t wait to be made redundant and scrambling before you use the leverage and stability you have in your current position to start creating opportunities for yourself outside of your full-time role.

The reality is that no one is completely safe from restructuring or layoffs. Whether you think AI is a bubble or not, that’s not the only thing that could be coming for you.

If you’re looking for a way to grow professionally and leverage your skills to help the businesses of the future scale, reach out to Connectd. It’s never too early to start building for your future self.

It feels surreal to even say it out loud. 

Leaving London, my comfort zone, my routines, everything familiar, is terrifying but exciting. 

Every successful person I’ve listened to says the same thing…
“get out of your hometown” 
I’m finally doing that.

I don’t have everything planned, but I’m very excited to see what living and working in this new city will teach me.

This is the start of a new chapter, not just geographically but mentally. I want to document the journey, the wins, the challenges, and everything in between so anyone following along can see what it really takes to make the leap.

Over the next few weeks, I’m excited to meet new people and hear new stories.

Back home, everyone talked about networking…
But when it actually came down to it,

it always felt awkward.
Almost invasive.
Like you were being too forward or trying too hard.

I could never figure out if I was overthinking it
or if that was just the London cool, nonchalant attitude

Dubai is the opposite.

Here, networking feels expected.
It is normal to meet someone randomly and grab coffee the next day.

People want to connect, collaborate, and help each other win.
There’s this shared understanding that success here often comes from community.

And it has genuinely made me rethink what networking means.

My dad is an actor.
My mum is an artist.

So choosing a different path felt pretty terrifying.

I loved being around creatives, but I never knew who I was in that world. Everyone had their thing. I had a lot of interests but no real direction. And because I didn’t know myself, I kept trying on everyone else’s identity.

Stepping into the corporate world changed that in a way I didn’t expect.
Sales gave me clarity.
Structure.
Proof of progress.

Growing up, the 9 to 5 was always looked down on. Everyone wanted to be the young entrepreneur. But not everyone needs that path. Some of us find ourselves through stability, not chaos.

1. The UAE market is relationship driven. Winning people emotionally matters as much as numbers.

2. In person interactions go a long way. Attend industry events, meet people face to face, and build trust.

3. Understand the local business culture. Even the small things like tone and communication style make a difference.

4. Patience is a strategy. Deals take longer but building trust now pays off later.

I’m learning a lot and trying to adapt my approach every day.
