Hi, I'm Sarah and I'm Helen and this is the Squiggly Careers podcast. Every week we share some

ideas and tools that we hope are going to help you to navigate your squiggly career with that

bit more confidence, clarity and control. So this week we're talking about how to make the most of

your team time together.

So whether it is icebreakers, development activities, or just fun stuff to do when you're in a room or on a Zoom together, we're going to explore loads of ideas.

Some that we've used before and they've worked really well.

And we've also got lots of ideas from our Squeegly Careers community as well as well but before we get started i feel like we need to just give our listeners a window into our

podcast recording world because you're probably going to hear you're probably going to hear some of it

and it's so funny because i was talking about squiggly careers last week on ali abdall's deep dive

podcast and i went to like where it's all recorded and it was it was

like scarily professional there was like a room that was set up and there were cameras and microphones

everywhere and I was like hmm slightly different to Sarah and my set up which as just as an example

everybody the reality of recording the squid career's podcast I'm at home this morning. I'm having

some work done to my house. So you may hear some banging because all the windows are being replaced.

I've also got my cat in my office today. She's an indoor cat. So she can't be in the house because

there's no windows. So she's with me. An indoor cat. Oh, stop. stop. Just because you don't like cats. My cat's lovely.

It's like them.

I'm allergic to them.

Well, I also think you maybe don't like them.

I see no cat care whenever my cat is near you.

There's very limited affection.

But also, I was just saying just before we were according to Sarah, I could hear some scratching.
