Hi, I'm Helen and I'm Sarah and you're listening to the Squiggly Careers podcast and this episode is part of our Squiggly Skills Sprint series where we've recorded 20 episodes. Each of them are less than seven minutes long to help you build some career development momentum. In each episode, Sarah and I are going to talk about a squiggly skill, what it is and why it matters.

We're going to share an idea for action from each of us, give you a go-to guru and a podcast

episode so that you can listen and learn a bit more. And we really, really want you to turn

Because often it might feel like a nice to do,

or often I do hear people say, well, I haven't got time for curiosity,

or it has to be outside of the day job.

And I think we should be adding curiosity into our day jobs

rather than seeing it as something separate. Because we know that when we're more curious and when we're

collecting lots of dots, it does mean we can connect dots in new ways. So that's when we spark new

thinking, spot new opportunities. And I don't think we succeed in our squiggly careers by doing
