A private cohort for the woman who's done building someone else's empire while her own sits in her notes app.
Working one job that doesn't fit the shape of your life
Toa portfolio career that uncaps your income and gives you control of your calendar.
That could look likeIn 8 weeks, you'll have:
That's the foundation. The stacks pictured above are what this compounds into over the next 6 to 12 months of reps.
Instead of pouring every hour you have into one job someone else designed, you assemble two, three, or even four income streams. That could include consulting, fractional roles, advisory, speaking gigs, brand collabs, writing, communities... the list goes on. The beauty is they are all built around the life you actually want to live. Uncapped income. Your calendar. Your terms.
Knows the way she works right now isn't going to set her up for the life she's planning. Maybe kids. Maybe travel. Maybe just the end of 85-hour weeks and the 90-minute commute.
Has high-ROI skills sitting inside one job, and wants them working harder for her without being tied to one company's budget.
Wants greater control over her calendar and an uncapped ceiling on what she earns, without blowing up the career she's already built.

Grab 15 minutes with GabrielaOne live session per week. A private community where I'm in the weeds with you between sessions, answering your questions and giving real-time feedback on the work you're doing.
A defined portfolio career structure, tailored to your skills, your season, and your income goal
Your first offer, built and ready to sell
A visibility and content system that puts that offer in front of the right people
A pitching playbook and live sales activity already underway
A new line of income stood up through fractional, consulting, or advisory work (without yet quitting your 9-5)
Custom AI tools that help you work smarter, not harder, including a full Claude Cowork system built to help you design your portfolio career, launch it, and grow it
We are CO-BUILDING your portfolio careers, not journalling on what you want.
We mine the highest-ROI skills you already have. The ones you enjoy leveraging, the ones you're better at than most people, and the ones there's real demand for. We also define the skills you're not yet using but want to build into a bigger part of how you work.
We pressure-test the market before you build. No offer goes live until we've confirmed someone is ready to pay for it. This is where people go wrong. They build an offer they want instead of what the market actually needs. Your offer gets cross-referenced against real demand before it ships.
Helping you find your gravity. The best fractional hires, the best consultants, the women with the strongest portfolio careers. They are the ones who are known. The go-to person in their skill set, industry, or niche.
Your gravity is built across the channels that fit you: a portfolio, your LinkedIn, a Substack, social channels, authentic marketing. A guest session brings the full picture together.
We finally get out and sell. So much of this work is letting your market and your network know, clearly and confidently, exactly what you do. You pitch. You handle responses. You close your first client. I'm in the community watching it happen and troubleshooting in real time.
We'll build out custom AI tools and agents that help you do this work to its fullest extent. A full Claude Cowork system, designed around your portfolio career, your offers, and your voice. We won't use AI to replace your voice. We'll use it to amplify the time, quality, and reach of what you already do.
This is going to push you. A portfolio career requires you to be seen, and building one takes real time.
If you already know that the life and career you want isn't going to happen in the format you're operating in right now, it's time to shift. It's time to put the pieces in place.
We start in September for a reason. You build through the fall while everyone else is heads-down in Q4 noise. By the new year, you already have your foundations built, your offer live, and your first income line standing. You're in position to maximize and monetize.
These women started exactly where you are now, inside a job that couldn't hold the career they were really building. This is what happened when they stopped waiting.
Kelsey came in working in real estate finance. She knew she wanted out of the industry and into corporate strategy for retail brands.
She left the finance job and signed her first fractional corporate strategy engagement with a retail brand she loves. The role she used to daydream about is the one she has now.
Lily built her fractional roster through this work. Demand got strong enough that she raised her rates and had to let go of clients who couldn't match them.
That's what an uncapped income ceiling actually looks like.
Anna built an advisory service alongside her big tech job, helping creators who had only ever had a social presence become the CEO of their own careers.
Within seven weeks, she'd stood up an offer that was already bringing in an additional line of income.
Bianca kept her full-time UX role and built two streams alongside it: a holistic acne coaching practice, and a website design business for healthcare practitioners.
Two distinct audiences, two distinct offers.
Waiting for the "right time" to start building the side of your career that actually excites you.
Treating fractional work and consulting as someday-maybe instead of a real income line.
Using your current job as the only container for skills that could be working three or four places at once.
Hitting the income ceiling inside someone else's org chart.
Telling yourself you'll "figure it out later." After the promotion. After the move. After the baby. After the bonus.
Coming up with reasons not to start because the thing you'd build feels too big or too small or too unclear.
You already know the income model of a single 80-hour job isn't going to hold up to the life you're planning. You've done the hard part. The part that's kept you from starting is that nobody's handed you the structure for how. That's what the next 8 weeks are for.
I'm Gabriela Flax, founder of Pivot School. I've helped 400+ women redesign their careers from the inside out, with over $4M in client outcomes.
I believe agency is the most underrated career skill. Most women are taught to earn the job, keep the job, and climb the ladder. I teach them to build a life their career fits inside of, not the other way around.
I've pivoted four times: biometric data, manufacturing, product management in tech, and now a portfolio career I designed on purpose. I built it because I could see the season of life I was walking into, and I knew one nine-to-five (which in reality was a nine-to-eight) wouldn't hold the work I wanted to do or the life I wanted to live.
At Pivot School, clients build their first offer while they're still employed. No burning it all down. No waiting for clarity to arrive. Just proof, reps, and the power of having options.
Build the income stream that lets you walk away from hours-for-dollars without walking away from the career you've built
Make your highest-ROI skills work harder for you, on your terms
Stop waiting for permission to diversify
Stand up a new line of income by the time the cohort ends
Treat your career like an asset portfolio instead of a single stock
Start a family within the next one to three years, and know that the way you're working right now won't support that dream
A note on that last one. A lot of the women I work with are in trimester zero, doing this work before kids arrive.
Quit your job before you've validated anything
Become a full-time creator or "build an audience" first
Gamble months of income on an idea nobody's paid you for yet
One of the most fun parts of building a portfolio career is owning your persona. Visibility doesn't mean becoming an influencer. What it does mean is that we're getting clear on what you do and who you do it for so that the people you want to attract into your world get it quick. That might be on LinkedIn, that might be on Substack, that might be on Instagram or TikTok. It also likely includes in person, which is still one of the highest conversion channels for fractional and consulting work. We cover all of that.
That's exactly what we're doing here. The first few weeks are going to help you explicitly break down your highest-ROI skills, define if the market needs them, and then structure an offer that holds up. If you wait until you have clarity to enrol, you'll wait forever. Clarity is the deliverable.
Longer than 8 weeks. The point of this cohort is that by the time we wrap, you understand the shape of your portfolio career. You've picked the first income stream you're building. You've structured the offer behind it. You've built the visibility system that puts it in front of the right people. And you're actively pitching to start that income flowing. The compounding happens after that. Which is why I tell every woman who wants this: start now, not later.
Portfolio careers work best for women with highly monetizable skill sets that are already in demand. Your main income stream is usually built around your highest-ROI skill, the one you're already an expert in. You can absolutely add streams in adjacent areas over time, but the first one comes from what you already know. If you've been working long enough that someone inside your current company is paying you to do something specialized, you have what you need.
Sessions run on a weekday lunchtime ET, which works as an after-work session for women in the UK and EU. Every session is recorded and uploaded to the community space within 24 hours, so missing a live isn't a problem. The community is asynchronous, meaning you can ask questions and get feedback on your work any time during the cohort, not just on live calls.
