I am so glad you could join us. I'm your host Mo Gaudet. This podcast is nothing more than a conversation between two good friends sharing inspiring life stories and perhaps

some nuggets of wisdom along the way.

This is your invitation to slow down with us.

Welcome to slow more. My guest today took a very brave move around 8 years ago.

She left a career in the corporate world and dedicated her time, her effort, her knowledge,

her experience to helping companies and individuals alike to navigate that whole messy thing that we call careers.

Together with her business partner Sarah Ellis, they co-founded a company called Amazing If, of which she is the CEO.

They together co-authored the Squiggly careers.

And together they host a podcast,

the Squiggly careers podcast, where each week they take a. a

Squiggly careers podcast where each week they take a work challenge and share tips and tools to

help you navigate it.

Anything really from looking for a new job to dealing with a difficult colleague and of course during the tough times of COVID-19 and lockdown they talk about how you can thrive in your career during those times and how you can work with others remotely and so on.
