ABOUT THIS EPISODE
The career ladder is not a set of steps, but instead is a ‘squiggly’ line. So says our Problem Solved guest, Sarah Ellis, co-founder of Amazing If, a company dedicated to making careers better. Sarah co-wrote the book, The Squiggly Career which describes how moving frequently and fluidly between roles, industries, locations and even careers is becoming the new normal. While ‘Squiggly’ careers can feel stressful and overwhelming, in our interview, Sarah shares how to make the most of them so that “they can be full of opportunity, freedom and purpose,” she says.
In our podcast with Sarah, you’ll learn:
- Play to your super strengths.
- Discover your values.
- Overcome your confidence gremlins.
- Build better support networks.
