0:00.0	Hi, I'm Helen and I'm Sarah.
0:04.9	And this is the Squiggly Careers podcast, a weekly show where we talk about the ins, the outs and the ups and downs of work to give you a little bit of squiggly support and some ideas to help you to take action.
0:16.1	And if it's the first time you're listening, you might want to know that we also create lots of other things to help you as well as what you're listening to today. So every episode comes with a pod sheet,
0:25.0	which is a downloadable summary that you can use on your own to reflect on what you've heard or maybe
0:29.0	use of someone else. Maybe you mentor someone or you could use it in your team. We've also got
0:33.1	little pod summaries, which are swipable short things on social media. So followers at Amazing If on Instagram or LinkedIn, and you'll see those there.
0:40.6	They're good to sort of tag people in that you think might be helpful.
0:43.0	And we've got Pod Plus, which is a weekly conversation with the very lovely Squiggly
0:46.3	Careers community where we just dive in a bit deeper.
0:49.4	People ask questions, they share their own insights, and it's just a bit of a boost.

1:05.5	and it's a way that we all add value in our roles. It shows that we're thinking and creating beyond where
1:12.4	we are today. So we're being strategic. We're looking to the future. And a big part of having
1:17.8	ideas is being able to share those ideas. We don't want those ideas to just rattle around in our
1:23.5	brain and to not going to make it out, to not make it out to share the with other people.
1:28.1	I think it's a really important skill in terms of how we influence and persuade other people.
1:33.4	I think we probably all do this more than we give ourselves credit for.
1:37.4	But when you actually look at some of the research, or if you read some of the articles around
1:41.4	presenting ideas, it very quickly moves into
1:45.4	pitching territory. So there is a really good HBR article that I read before the podcast
1:50.5	called How to Pitch a Brilliant Idea. But this is all about essentially one and done.
