If you’re curious about job sharing but not sure you have what it takes, this episode is your permission slip to find out for real. Because today, I’m walking you through the 11 most common traits of successful job sharers—so you can discover your strengths, spot areas to grow, and know exactly what to look for in a dream partner.
These traits come from the 2011 Job Share Project study and—after nearly a decade of job sharing myself—I can tell you firsthand, they’re spot on. I’ll share how this list would’ve saved me tons of time, energy, and stress with my first job share (which didn’t work out) and how it helped me find true alignment with later partners.
Whether you’re new to job sharing or knee-deep in planning your dream work-life setup, this episode gives you a roadmap for success—plus real-life stories from job share teams who’ve made it work beautifully.
in episode 37, you’ll learn:
- The 11 most important traits of successful job sharers
- ✍ Which traits you bring to the table—and how to fill in the gaps
- How to use this list as a partner selection cheat sheet
- What real job share teams say about trust, communication, and personality fit
- Why you only need 5–7 traits to thrive (not all 11!)
