Afterwork helps you navigate the biggest shift of our time as AI disrupts work as we know it. As jobs unravel, it explores what comes next: from portfolio careers to deeper questions of identity, purpose, and life after jobs.
What you’ll find here. 👇🏻
Big picture: Visionary thinking on the future of work and life.
We’re living through one of humanity’s biggest shifts in how we work and live. As AI disrupts jobs, we need to explore the deeper questions about what we define as work as well as about identity, purpose and how societies fund life after jobs (post labor economics).
New Work Models: Diving deeper into what's currently changing.
What comes next when full-time jobs are no longer the default? Explorations of portfolio careers, fractional work, and new models of organization and leadership.
Practical Tools & Personal Stories: Helping you navigate the shift.
Frameworks, prompts, mental models, and small experiments to help you design your own way of working in uncertain times — grounded in honest reflections and personal stories from my own reinvention journey.
We don't need more doom & collapse-thinking right now. We need a positive vision, big ideas, fresh perspectives, and tools that build the confidence to navigate this shift.
What else: Portfolio Career Mentoring. 👥
Making the leap from a traditional job into a portfolio career can feel exciting and terrifying. That’s why I’m offering portfolio career mentoring based on my five pillars of work framework to help people through the process of going from a traditional job to a portfolio career.
About me. 👋🏻
Hey, I’m Iwana: a curious, impact-driven generalist with almost a decade of living the future of work, emerging tech and continuous reinvention. I recently left the startup world to go solo and build a portfolio career that combines passion, impact, and financial freedom.
I’m a big tech enthusiast and future-focused thinker who loves exploring AI, Web3, XR and the evolving world of work. At the same time, I care deeply about sustainability and climate action and I’m fascinated by how all of these forces can come together to shape a better future.
Originally from Germany, I’ve moved around a lot and am now based in Portugal, pretty good at making myself at home wherever I land.
