Portfolios, Proof of Work & the Future of Early CareerWith Dr. Anna Stumpf
In this episode, Dr. Anna Stumpf and I dig into a question we both keep coming back to:
Are we witnessing the death of the resume economy and moving into a proof-of-work economy?
Listen in as we talk about what a “portfolio” really means (hint: not just for artists), how to show how you think, not just what you’ve done, and why the human premium is increasingly found in your process, judgment, curiosity, and reflection.

About Today's Guest
Dr. Anna Stumpf is an organizational coach and leadership strategist who helps professional services firms develop the next generation of confident, collaborative leaders. With more than 30 years of experience spanning corporate leadership, higher education, and organizational coaching, she partners with firms where performance expectations are high—but leadership support is often limited.
Anna specializes in working with technically skilled managers who were promoted for their expertise but were never fully equipped to lead people, projects, and clients effectively. Through coaching, real-time application, and assessment-based insight, she helps leaders move from reactive to strategic and from overwhelmed to impactful.
She is certified in multiple MHS assessment tools, including EQ-i 2.0®, EQ360, Hardiness Resilience Gauge™, and Change Style Indicator™, and conducts in-depth 1:1 360 interviews that provide leaders with clarity, language, and practical direction for growth. Anna also created the Double Skills Gap framework to address the unique challenges faced by technically brilliant managers stepping into leadership roles.
As the founder of Collective Energy Coaching, Anna works primarily with organizations of 50–500 employees, often coaching multiple managers across year-long development engagements. Her approach goes beyond traditional training, aligning individuals and leadership layers to drive performance, strengthen culture, and create lasting behavior change.
Anna is committed to helping organizations unlock their full potential through strategic leadership development—building strong, connected leaders who elevate teams, serve clients well, and position their firms for long-term success.
