IS JOB SHARING RIGHT FOR YOU? Why Your Job Is Shareable.

Think your job can’t be shared? This myth-busting episode might just change your mind.

Have you been telling yourself that job sharing would never work in your role? That your job is too complex, too client-facing, or too strategic to share with a partner?

Today, I’m dispelling one of the biggest myths that keeps talented professionals from pursuing job sharing: “My job just can’t be shared.” Spoiler alert: it probably can be, and research proves job sharing actually works BEST in demanding, complex roles.

From sales and leadership positions to strategic roles, client-facing work, and senior positions in global organizations—I’m sharing real examples of where job sharing thrives. Plus, I’ll walk you through exactly why your job is likely more shareable than you think.

In Episode 48, you’ll discover:

• The 5 myths that stop people from pursuing job sharing (and why they’re holding you back)
• Why timing will never be “perfect” for creating a job share
• The real reason you don’t see more job sharers around you
• Which types of roles research proves job sharing works best in
• An eye-opening exercise to help you see how your job could be shared
• Real industries and job types where job sharing is already thriving
• Why job sharing has moved up the pay scale to senior-level roles

The bottom line? Once you put in the upfront work to thoughtfully create your job share, stakeholders overwhelmingly experience positive results. Your job is probably more shareable than you think.
