Hi, I'm Sarah and I'm Helen and this is a squiggly careers podcast where every week we talk about a different topic to do with work and we hope give you and definitely always us some ideas for action and tools to try out that we hope will just help you to navigate all of the squiggles of 2023 and beyond with a bit more confidence, clarity and

0:23.3

control. And one thing in addition to the podcast that we think might help you is our new

0:28.6

squiggly career calendar. Drumroll, insert. Bye-bye. Obviously well-practiced everybody.

0:36.5

Slick as slick as we're starting the year as we mean to go on, super slick.

0:40.5

Squiggly but not so slick.

0:42.3

No, so this calendar, we did our first calendar last year, and basically it's 12 months of ideas for action to support you and your career development.

0:49.6

And we got a really positive response to it.

0:51.7

So when we were thinking about how could we improve it this year,

0:55.1

one of the things that we recognised is that often making time to take action is one of the biggest

0:59.8

barriers for people and their development. So we've tried to make the 2023 Squiggly Career calendar

1:21.1

And there are sort of buttons throughout, but you can choose whether you want to add the whole

1:25.1

calendar to your diary in one go. So for the rest of the year, every Monday, there'll be an idea for action that you can take,

1:31.4

and it's like 10 minutes for you to do.

1:33.4

Or if you think, do you know what, August is a month I'd quite like to focus on my holidays

1:37.2

and not my career, you can just pick the months that feel most relevant to you.

1:40.5

So whatever works, we'll put the links for you in the show notes. It will be on

1:44.7

our website and you'll also be able to find it at Amazing If on LinkedIn or on Instagram as well.

1:49.8

I did it this morning, Helen. You'd be proud of me. I tried the functionality. That sounds like I've

not been involved with it so far. I did help. I did help along the way. But Helen definitely
