Hi, I'm Helen and I'm Sarah. And this is the Squiggly Careers podcast, a weekly conversation between us about careers, no surprise there, but where we cover the topics that all of us are navigating at work and share as many practical ideas for action as we can to give us all a bit more control with how we respond to some of

those challenges and also how we can support other people with them too and every one of our episodes

comes with a pod sheet and you can download it and summarises some of the ideas that we talk about

some quotes if you like a quote like me there's always a quote in a pod sheet and it's got some coach yourself questions as well that you can reflect on. We know lots of people use podsheets

in their team meetings as well to help them talk through some of the things that we've talked

like-minded learners that come together every Thursday at 9 o'clock for a 30 minute deep dive into whatever topic we've been talking about.

It is free, it is on Zoom and all the links for PodPlus, for pod sheets and for whatever else we

create is going to be in the show notes for today's episode. And if you ever can't find that,

We know this is a topic that lots of people are interested in. We recently posted a matrix

that we are going to bring to life a little bit on this podcast as well. But it definitely got a lot

of people thinking and commenting about this issue of whether

I should stay or whether I should switch and how I can make that decision.

And I guess within squiggly careers, there's no surprise that those choices probably happen

more frequently than they did before.

And whether that is sort of squiggling and staying within an organisation,

so that's still switching, or whether that's staying in your current role and seeing that as an

opportunity to progress and grow. I think it's one of those classic career conundrums, one of those

dilemmas that we all have those moments where we're trying to figure out what is the right
