Hi, I'm Helen and I'm Sarah and this is the Squiggly Careers podcast, a weekly podcast to help you with your career development.

With the ins, outs, ups and downs of work, we want to be a helpful source of support for you in your career.

And if you would like some more support beyond this episode, there's lots of other things that we have got to help you. You can join us in Pod Plus, which is a weekly conversation for 30

minutes every Thursday morning at 9 o'clock. It is free and it's a community of people who just

dive a bit deeper into the topic that we've been discussing. You can download our pod sheets,

their summaries of whatever we talk about, lots of coach yourself

questions and a lot of the resources that we mention are there as well. And all those things

and links to our pod mail, which is a weekly email, which has everything in it, are all in the show

notes for this episode. And if you ever can't find any of those resources, you can just email us

at Helen and Sarah at

squiggly careers.com. And this week's topic is how to work with different people. And I don't

think this is something that any of us find easier. And spoiler alert, there's no formula for success

that if we do X, Y, it equals brilliant relationships all of the time.

But we thought it was helpful to do a bit of a deep dive into difference because we're all working on lots more projects,

different people who have different experiences to us.

We're often sort of changing the people that we work with more frequently.

So this idea of building brilliant

relationships I think has always been important in our careers, but particularly now in

squiggly careers where we are doing so many more different things with so many different people.

This just feels like something where if you can understand what this looks like for you

and also understand other people better,

it can only ever be a helpful thing as part of your squiggly career.
