Hello everybody and welcome to this week's Squiggly Careers podcast. I'm Helen and one of the co-hosts of the podcast and I'm here with Sarah. Hi everyone. And if this is your first time listening to the Squiggly Careers podcast, we should probably tell you a little bit more about what it's all about and what you can expect from this episode. So this is a weekly podcast where Sarah and I talk about topics that

we know people are facing day in, day out at work. So whether it's about being brilliant

in a new job, having courageous conversations, how to manage your manager, all of that stuff

that we know is top of mind and has regularly been top of mind for us. We try and tackle those

topics and we dig into the research. We try and tackle those topics and we

dig into the research. We share some of our experiences from our careers, the organisations we've

worked for some of the people that we've worked for as well. But we're very, very focused on

Which means about two years ago, which is not to say that we're going to repeat the same episode,

but that one was more about almost like how you discover your strengths and find out what you're great at.

We're sort of assuming you've listened to that and we're taking it one step further and it's really about once you know what you're really good at and we focus on super strength so what you're

great at how do you make sure that you're using those things as much as possible in your work so

that's what we're going to talk about today we're going to get focused on lots and lots of tips so that

you can take action and i think within squiggly careers just in terms of thinking about why this matters so much,

I think the first thing is when your strengths are consistently showing up for yourself

and for the people around you, that's when opportunities that you don't know exist can come
