Hi, I'm Helen Tuffer and this is the Squiggly Careers podcast, a weekly show where we talk about the

ins and outs of work, discuss some of the topics that are on people's mind and give you some tools,

questions and support to help you feel a bit more in control of your career development and a bit

more confident about the actions that you take. Today, I'm not joined by Sarah, my normal co-host. I'm actually going to be joined by

Jodie Cook, who is a long-time friend and somebody whose work I've followed and I have found

really, really helpful. So I'm hoping it will do the same for you too, because the topic we're

to talk about is success. Not always an easy one.

I think one that can sometimes seem a bit shiny, a bit alienating. But what I love about Jodie

is she makes it really, really practical for people to think about, well, what does success

mean to me and how can I design my development and manage my career in a way that means that I'm

more likely to achieve the things that I want to. So you'll hear Jodie's opinions on success. She will

talk through this idea of ace cards that I really like, sort of thinking about your super

strengths and how you bring

them to life. And then we're going to get into how do you design and make use of your own

success system. And it's a process of sort of looking at what you've done so far in your career and

using some of that insight to help you with what you might want to do in the future. So lots and lots

of practical tools,

insights, stories and examples to help you. I think we should just get started.

Jodie, welcome to the Squiggly Careers podcast. So excited to be here. I feel like this

has been a long time in the making.

Like we've known each other for ages.

I think we're just trying to find, find the right moment for you to come and share your wisdom with all of our lovely listeners.
