| 0:00.0 | We're really excited that we are back again with another Squiggly Careers Skill Sprint. Over 25,000 people have learnt with us on our sprint and we'd love you to come and learn with us in January. We are going to be learning like lobsters. And the reason this matters is because learning has never been more important at work, but it's also never felt harder to do. And we think that lobsters are the |
| 0:22.5 | role models that we've all been missing. So sign up for the sprint at squiggly sprint.com and you'll |
| 0:27.4 | join a community of people who all get to learn like a lobster and overcome those barriers |
| 0:31.4 | that are getting in the way of their growth. Hi, I'm Sarah. And I'm Helen. And this is the Squiggly Careers podcast, where every week we borrow some brilliance from a person, a place, sometimes even an object. |
| 0:45.2 | And we try to turn that curiosity into useful action for you and your career. |
| 0:50.4 | And today we are going to be talking, we sort of borrowing brilliance from a person and, I guess, a topic is a bit of a, is a bit of a report. |
| 0:59.2 | Report, a report. |
| 1:00.5 | Sounds very grown up, doesn't it? |
| 1:02.4 | I'm a big buildup. |
| 1:03.3 | We're talking about spaciousness, everybody, which might be a new term. |
| 1:07.4 | It was to me when I heard about it, I was actually at an event where somebody, a previous podcast guest that I'm a big fan of called Megan writes who has written a book called Speak Truth to Power. And she was talking about a new report that had been released called Spaciousness. And I thought, how have I not read this? Like, I follow your work. I'm a big, like, I'm a fan of what Megan does. Have I not read |
| 1:27.7 | this report? And I like, you know, I just kind of like like the word and I've talked to a few |
| 1:32.3 | people about it. And it's a word that seems to connect with people conceptually. And so Sarah |
| 1:37.9 | and I wanted to take the research that Megan has done around spaciousness and what it means |
| 1:43.6 | to people and how we can develop it |
| 1:45.5 | and turn it into something that's really useful for the Swiggly Careers community. |
| 1:49.9 | And I guess as a bit of a heads up as well, Megan is turning the report into a book. |
| 1:53.7 | So there is more work from Megan coming on this topic. |
| 1:56.1 | So I think if what we're talking about resonates with you today and feels like it's useful, |
| 2:01.7 | I would definitely recommend following Megan so that you are first in line for when that book |
| 2:06.3 | comes out. |
| 2:07.1 | One of the things that's interesting actually is when she talks about the research that |
