I recently emailed Dan Pink, author of A WHOLE NEW MIND, the link for this site. He coined the phrase “Boundary Crosser” in his book and I thought he would get a kick out of seeing what I’ve done with this.

In the reply, he recommended a book that he thought I would enjoy, given that I’m doing this work, “One Person/Multiple Careers” by Marci Alboher.

I’ve just started the book AND I’m enjoying it tremendously. Alboher profiles people who have carved out their work from integrating the many parts of themselves, individuals who are not just attorneys but also ministers, who are not just neurosurgeons but also journalists, who are not just house painters but also writers. She calls this the “slash effect” as in I’m a writer/podcaster/executive coach/team development consultant.

She then identifies characteristics of “slashers,” which is wildly reassuring when you’ve been one all your life. And you were convinced that those characteristics were flaws or quirks.

If this piques your interest, buy the book. You won’t regret it.
