#123 Shaping the Future of Work with Fractional Leadership with Karina Mikhli

You may have heard the buzz about fractional CMO, fractional COO, fractional CEO lately, but what exactly does it mean—and why is everyone talking about it? Imagine being able to control your work hours, choose your clients, and do more of what you love without being tied to a full-time executive role. Fractional leadership is that game-changing opportunity, and in this episode 123 of Meaningful Work, Meaningful Life, and the final of Season 10, I sit down with Karina Mikhli, a leader in this Fractional space, to share her journey and expertise. Four years ago, Karina couldn’t have imagined the impact she would create in the world of fractional leadership. Her journey has led her to an unexpected but powerful reality. Karina had already built an impressive career in publishing and operations but found herself drawn to something different—something more flexible and aligned with her passion for optimising businesses. She discovered fractional leadership, a role that allowed her to help companies scale without being confined to a traditional executive job. But she didn’t stop there. Karina saw a need for a supportive network for fractional leaders, and so she founded @Fractionals United, now a vibrant community of nearly 11,000 members! Like many entrepreneurs, Karina faced challenges—navigating self-doubt, building a community from scratch, and balancing work with her creative outlets. This conversation will inspire anyone who’s considering the leap into fractional leadership or looking for ways to make a meaningful impact in their career. 🔊 Ready to dive into the future of work and learn how Karina’s mission is reshaping leadership?
