Hi, I'm Helen and I'm Sarah and this is the Squiggly Careers podcast, a weekly podcast to help

you to navigate the ups and downs of your squiggly career where we share lots of practical

ideas for action to give you a little bit more confidence, clarity and control over all the

different things that you might be doing. And today we are going to be discussing how you can talk about your values in your team.

It's been a while since Sarah and I talked about values.

Actually, it's over 250 episodes ago, which probably someone might be listening to this as like a new listener,

and they might have only listened to values last week.

career around you takes that knowledge of what does make me me what does motivate and drive me

and that's why values are so important but if you don't take that awareness and put it into action

it's not really giving you all the benefit that you need and so when you have the awareness

and you talk about it in your team it's much more likely that you're going to be able to take

action with it which is what we're trying to pair here, the awareness and the action. And so a quick recap on values

just to set the scene for today's podcast. So as Helen just said, values are the things that motivate

and drivers. We sometimes describe them as they're what make you, you. Everyone has values. There's
