Hi, I'm Sarah and I'm Helen and this is the Squiggly Careers podcast. Every week we talk about a different topic to do with work and share ideas, tools and actions to help you and it always helps us to navigate our squiggly careers without a bit more confidence and clarity.

And today is a special episode because it is our year in review episode, which is mainly

for our most frequent listeners.

This is the first episode that you are listening to.

I'm not sure it's going to be the most useful, but it's insightful into...

I think the questions are going to be useful.

That's true.

We're going to ask each other a series of questions, some quickfire questions to reflect on the year, and then some slightly sort of deeper ones to get some insight from what we've done and what we might do differently next year. So the questions are useful. Our answers might be irrelevant. But if you are a long time listener, you might find it interesting to hear a little bit about our journey in running our business, Amazing If and working together as friends and business partners and all the things that go with that.

Are you ready?

Ready.

Okay.

So we've got five quick fire questions.

I feel like I'm a bit more in control today because I've got them written down.

She has the iPad.

So we've got five quick fire questions and then we've got three slightly more thoughtful reflections. So maybe I'll ask you

yours and I'll do mine so we'll do back and we'll do. Okay. So the first question, quick fire

question. And we don't know what we're going to say so we don't share these with each other

beforehand. Yeah, well I know what I'm going to say but I don't know what you're going to say yeah okay I have I've done some preparation because these questions I think actually just a side note if you are going to do these

questions I think putting people on the spot with them I think you want to give people these

questions in advance of a conversation just so they can think about it a bit so um okay

and so you don't have recency bias because you do need to reflect you're reflecting on your whole year you're

not reflecting on what happened in the last two or three weeks and it's so easy to get distracted
