I have navigated through my life’s work as an educator, coach, personal wellness consultant, business development professional and entrepreneur. A graduate of DePaul University (BA) and the University of Illinois at Chicago (MS), I am founder and president of the John Anthony George Foundation (501c3). In addition to my Wellness practice, Adjunct Professor of Health, Wellness and Sport and Interscholastic Sports Official and Events Planner complete the present status of my life's work, signaling a true and rewarding Portfolio Career Employment expression.

My book, An Uncommon Way Forward, is the central expression of my reflections on and practical applications of Portfolio Career Employment. While this book is at once self-instructive, I am happy to elaborate on its possibilities in the lecture, workshop and small group formats.

I can be reached via email at: breakout@ai-ltd.net, or call or text me at 773-230-8817.

For those of you wondering what Portfolio Career Employment might look like, here is my present expression of this truly rewarding journey into the world of maximizing multiple revenue streams through purposefully fulfilling and dignified work.

Founder and President of the John Anthony George Foundation...

A fully recognized 501c3. Founded in 2005.

For purposes of protecting a dream that's become a reality that breathes, the evolution and development of The JAGF continues with earnest. Let's take a look at the inspiration behind our Foundation's societal and cultural needs-responsive vision.

Our work at the Foundation of reaching out and across to the underserved and displaced in our world has as its namesake in memoriam one who often by quiet example demonstrated to his family, friends and all-walks-of-life onlookers the dignity of honorable behavior. This Foundation is identified only by his given Catholic Christian birth, baptismal and confirmation names - John Anthony George, a legacy for us rooted in his witness to the world in the here and now and not for what a surname may commit one to inherit. In his world, being a dedicated observer asking why often meant gaining deeper appreciation for our collective social and cultural responsibilities. Questions didn't deserve answers as much as they compelled openness to different thinking.

In its fullest expression our work will reflect remembrance for a life dedicated to sacrifice for and devotion to family, respect for humankind and the notion that all deserve their turn at bat, their place in the field, their best chance at personal completeness and social belonging. Heaven as a playground here on earth is, then, a life with purpose, surprise, passion, vision and hope.

The John Anthony George Foundation seeks to support deserving and underfunded youth education and sports activities in Chicago and proudly dedicates its mission to the memory of John Anthony George Willert (1919 to 2005)

An Uncommon Way Forward guides the reader on a unique journey to implement a singularly unique, only-one-of-its-kind, dressed to the nines, career development model: Portfolio Career Employment (PCE).

In brief, Portfolio Career Employment is the achievement of an entrepreneurial and vocation-based career development strategy through ...

... purposeful planning (In Principle) and implementation (In Practice) of Your Life Work Vision™.

... the strategic configuration of one's competency markets and provider aptitudes as expressed through carefully selected employment channels.

... the successful realization of multiple revenue flows designed to respond to and recover from both expected and unexpected economic realities of our day.

As founder, owner and lone provider of your own proprietary and commercially viable products, services and programs, look to crystallize your life’s work vision and advance your employability through a portfolio of marketable proficiencies. You are likely to fully appreciate the PCE experience if you see the wisdom in conjoining self-styled independent contractorship with any combination of … at-will or contract employment, internships, presently owned business assets or ventures, or savvy volunteerism … as co-equal expressions of your life’s work vision.

What our customers are saying ...

Coincidental to the commercial availability of the book, I was invited to preside over a 2 hour-long workshop at the Career Transition Center of Chicago, to introduce the proprietary work I have done on career vision building, portfolio career employment and innovative small enterprise implementation. The following feedback from participants was shared with me by Laura Sterkel, the Center's Program Director:

Peter,

I can't thank you enough. 26 attended yesterday's workshop and as you heard me mention, it served our "Innovation and Entrepreneurship" programming theme beautifully ... The participant response we received was very good ... In our evaluation, we assess how well the presenter presents - you earned nearly all top scores. Your style is approachable ... You are a walking example of what you "profess." People found the content: "invaluable," "eye-opening," and one commented that "enterprise thinking ", "outside the box", in the way you encourage, facilitates "generating income based on passions and skills". We also had comments that this was a really challenging but realistic and practical way to manage a career. Excellent!

All strongly agreed that their knowledge in the area of different work arrangements improved as a result of attending the workshop. And you should get a fair amount of site traffic and word of mouth as many indicated that they wanted more time and information with the material. Your book and website are both good resources!

As I mentioned, we get approached by others for resources (speakers, etc.) and am delighted to refer you as other opportunities arise. We would love to have you back to CTC this June.

Thanks so much. We'll definitely stay in touch.

Best, Laura

Moreover, Ms. Sterkel offers the following recommendation of my work as appears in LinkedIn:

"Peter is a regular speaker/instructor at Career Transitions Center of Chicago this year. Mid-career professionals are fortunate to receive his vision, expertise and enthusiasm around career alternatives and initiative. He is a convincing and motivating presenter. His "Uncommon Way Forward" is refreshing and hopeful for all navigating job/career transition in today's challenging marketplace. He delivers help, hope and a powerful call to action!" March 6, 2010
