Summary

Transferable skills are often talked about as the answer to a resilient career. However it's such a big topic area that the specific action you need to take isn't always clear. In this episode, Helen and Sarah make transferable skills practical and personal to you. They talk about how to align them to your career possibilities, how to go from an 'uber' skill like communication to a 'sub skill' like listening and where to invest your efforts and energy to make improvements. There are lots of resources to support this episode. Head to www.amazingif.com/listen and search for episode 198. If you'd like to join PodPlus, a live learning session with Helen and Sarah on the topic on transferable skills you can register at www.amazingiflearning.com/courses/podplus. The live session will be at 9am on 11/02/2021 and you can also watch back a recording of the session at a future date.

Hi, I'm Sarah Ellis and I'm Helen Tupper and you're listening to the Squiggly Careers podcast

0:06.8

where every week we talk about a different topic to do with work and discuss practical ideas and

0:12.0

actions to help you find your way through the Squiggly world of work. And as we talked to you today,

0:18.3

we have just recorded our TED Talk. And we wanted to say a quick

0:22.8

thank you to everybody who supported us. I know lots of people bought tickets to come along to

0:28.2

the virtual live event on Saturday. We got lots of really kind messages of people saying good

0:33.6

look and cheering is on and supporting us when you're not really seeing anyone ever

0:38.7

at the moment it would mean a lot anyway but I think it meant even more to us to just feel like

0:44.0

we had people all over the place just kind of saying good look and I hope squiggly goes well

0:49.8

and people have been really kind and people who were there have shared it on LinkedIn and places like that.

0:55.4

So thank you all. We really do appreciate it. The talk will be released for everybody to be able to watch in a couple of weeks' time. And when that does come out, we'll talk about it a bit more. And I think we might even do an episode on what we learnt from the TED Talk, not how to do a TED talk, but more, I think

1:12.2

we learnt some very, probably useful lessons about public speaking, about working out what you

1:18.4

want to say, working together remotely, I think at times.

1:22.5

Yeah, definitely put some pressures on that point.

1:24.9

I mean, it really did.

1:26.0

We were still friends.

1:27.3

We still work together,

1:28.1

so. I think we perhaps got the closest to having an evening off each other, though, didn't we,

during the process. Yeah, I think there was a moment when we were like, there is no good going to

1:45.5
