ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Welcome to this trailer for my podcast, Let’s Chat Dental.
I’m Anne Budenberg, and I’m a dentist with over 30 years experience in NHS and private practice, including roles in secondary care, dental education, risk management, mentoring, and health coaching.
This podcast is for anyone interested in UK dental careers…for those already working, or planning to work as a dentist,…or dental care professional in the UK. We’re going to chat about the diversity of choice within the UK dental world, and about creating a happy & fulfilling career.
Now dental careers are no longer simply linear, or binary choices, but offer many possibilities for hopping, on and off whichever career path, or ‘squiggly career,’ we chose to take.
'Squiggly career' was a phrase coined by career development consultants, Helen Tupper & Sarah Ellis, and I love this concept, and the fact that every ‘squiggly career’ will be drawn differently, and individually. And it gives an implied freedom to our career choices.
They defined this as: "…a career that isn't defined by climbing the corporate ladder but is fluid and can take many different paths”.
We’ll be exploring some of the opportunities, challenges, … and adapting to change, throughout our careers, … in a dynamic landscape.
Please join us for the first episode. Don’t forget to share your feedback & ideas on what’s important to you about dental careers.
