Mentor with Your Talents, Not Your Title

Hi, it is Helen from the Squiggle Careers Podcast, and before today's episode starts, I wanted to let you know about some exciting news and how you can get involved in it early. The exciting news is our sprint is back, hooray! We have done lots of sprints now. We have had thousands and thousands of people get involved in our five day free learning experiences, and we really hope that you're gonna join us for our next one in September. But before then, we want to give you the chance to vote on the topic that we cover. So we've got two options. We could do a sprint on connection. We know connection is a problem for people right now and we've got lots of practical ideas to build the relationships that you need, to develop a community around your career, and make sure that you've got that connection with people. The second topic that we could do is on progression. So we know progression is important for everyone, but it is not always easy. And if we are going to let go of promotion, we have to replace that with something that feels meaningful, motivating, and possible. So if you want some help with your progression, if you need to think about the directions you could develop in, the people that can help you with your possibilities, then maybe you would like a sprint on progression. So you get to vote. To do that, you need to go to

Your sprint. Dot vote. That's your sprint. Dot Vite. You will see the two options, connection, progression. You just need to let us know which one you want, and the winner will be the one that we focus on in September. So we can't wait to sprint with you, but before then, we cannot wait to see what topic feels meaningful, motivating, and matters most for you. So get voting and let's get on with today's episode.
