We're experimenting with this new format of Borrowed Brilliance where every week, either Helen or I have found something that we think is intriguing, is interesting, but then really focus on trying to turn what we've learned into something that feels really useful for us at work.

The reason we really like Richard Feynman, he was just very curious, the way that he approached learning, the way that he asked questions.

He has this whole spirit around the more questions the better.

And actually, the more we just close things off, that's not very good for our learning.

The Feynman technique.

It's all about teaching what you are learning as though you are teaching it to a child.

Number two is the idea of having

a don't know notebook and it would just keep a whole running list of things that you didn't know.

You know there's that work cliche of don't bring me problems, bring me solutions. Actually,

if problems in organisations are seen as something to share and to discuss, get to very different outcomes

and actually you're much more likely to solve the problems.

Hi, I'm Sarah.

And I'm Helen.

And this is the Squiggly Careers podcast.

Every week we borrow some brilliance and turn that curiosity into actions that we hope will

help all of us to navigate and succeed

in our squiggly careers. And this is a slightly different format for squiggly careers, for everybody

who listens every week. You'll be very used to us turning up with strengths or how to get a pay

rise or what do microaggressions mean to pick a range of different

topics. And we've got to 500 episodes and we felt it was really important that we kept being

useful. So what we don't want to do is repeat things that we've already done and keep saying

the same thing because I wouldn't listen to that podcast let alone everybody else. So we're experimenting with this new format of borrowed brilliance
