It’s time for

FREE BIRDS

to fly

The world of work has shifted, and there’s no going back.

The barriers to entry have never been lower for talented professionals to work independently, and today’s MASSIVE external workforce is hardly a pandemic-produced fad. Business owners can only survive in the new work landscape by partnering with this deep talent pool.

Free Birds both empowers the newly independent worker and teaches corporate leaders why the workforce hinges on tried-and-true principles and predictions, outlining for readers:

  • Six unstoppable forces that have created the external workforce

  • What killed employer–employee loyalty and how a new social contract will evolve

  • The mind of the Independent, e.g. what motivates workers to jump into the external workforce and what’s a flight plan for readers who want to become a Free Bird

  • How to attract and retain Independent talent and the bottom-line benefits for businesses who do so

An essential read for the talented professional launching their solopreneur career and the savvy business owner aiming to future-proof their organization alike, Free Birds charts the path for both groups in the new world of work.
