Hi, I'm Sarah Ellis and this is the Squiggly Careers podcast where every week we discuss a different topic to do with work and share some ideas, actions and advice that we hope will help you as well as us to navigate our squiggly careers with confidence and a bit more control.

And this episode is part of our fourth Ask

the Expert series where we're covering a really great range of very relevant topics, including

uncertainty, influence, success, leadership. And today, you'll hear my conversation with

Babette Buster on storytelling. And I feel like this episode has really been crowdsourced by our Squiggly Careers community

because you told us that storytelling was a skill that you were really interested in

and that lots of you wanted to improve in.

And one of our followers on Instagram actually recommended Babbat and her book

and the work that she's done.

And the more I found out,

the more I enjoyed reading her really practical ideas and advice. So I was delighted to get the

opportunity to talk to her. And I'm sure you'll find a really useful episode. And all of our

Ask the Expert series is supported by the uncertainty experts, a three-part interactive documentary which is designed to

increase resilience and decrease anxiety. I took part in the pilot and I'm going to take part

again in series one because it was so good the first time. I'm going back for more and I can tell

you it's like no other learning experience. It's really unique. So if you have got

the time to get involved, I'd really encourage you to give it a go. If you do want to take part,

you can sign up to be part of the series in November now. We'll add a link into the show notes.

And if you use the code squiggly, you get a bonus discount too. And if you want to get a bit of a feel for what the interactive documentary might involve, listen at the end of the podcast because there's a short clip and a bit

of a snippet from one of the uncertainty experts sharing their personal story of overcoming

uncertainty. So listen out for that. But for now, here's my conversation with Babette.

I hope you find it a really useful listen.
