Hi, I'm Sarah and this is the Squiggly Careers podcast.

0:06.7

This week is one of our Ask the Expert episodes where you'll hear me in conversation with Professor

0:12.4

Herminia Abara.

0:14.1

We've wanted to talk to Herminia for years, I think probably ever since Squiggly Careers was

0:19.3

born because her book Working Identity is definitely

0:23.6

one of the influences that encouraged us and prompted us to think that we perhaps were

1:20.2

Likewise, Sarah.

1:21.3

I'm really pleased to be here. So I wanted to start with this idea of outside because it's not a word or an idea that I had come across until I read,

1:30.8

act like a leader, think like a leader. And it both stuck with me, but also immediately made

1:37.4

sense to me based on my own leadership experiences and my own reflections. So I wonder if you

1:43.4
