Sarah Ellis: Hello, I am Sarah.
Helen Tupper: And I am Helen.
Sarah Ellis: And that is the Squiggly Careers podcast. Each week, we speak about a unique subject to do with work, and share some concepts and a few actions that we hope will assist all of us simply navigate this Squiggly Careers that all of us discover ourselves in with that bit extra confidence and management.
Helen Tupper: And immediately, we will be speaking about tips on how to plan your pivot. And it is a subject that we’ve got talked about earlier than, nevertheless it was method again in August 2018, the place pre-pandemic, I really feel like pivots have been thought of, however maybe not compelled upon many people.
And truly, while you look into the info on pivots, tons extra individuals at the moment are and open to pivots, which I might say really is an indication of Squiggly Profession success, that individuals are really in a position now to contemplate and speak about doing one thing totally different than they’ve at all times accomplished. I believe that is nice we’re having these conversations. However after we talked about it earlier than, the context of that episode was Sarah and I have been sharing a few of our profession pivots. I used to be nonetheless at Microsoft then, after we have been speaking about it.
Sarah Ellis: Yeah, I used to be the Managing Director for a artistic company with a one-year-old. I do not keep in mind loving 2018, if I am trustworthy! I do not know the way a lot I might wish to return and take heed to that episode.
Helen Tupper: Properly, listeners, do you have to want to, please do, however we cannot. However yeah, that was the context on the time. So, we have been sharing a few of our personal experiences and speaking about a number of the issues while you’re possibly enthusiastic about a pivot. At the moment goes to be fairly much more sensible, I might say. We have a course of in an effort to type of stroll by way of it step-by-step for those who’re considering, “Truly, I want to make a pivot. This does undoubtedly really feel like one thing that I wish to do, I simply do not fairly know tips on how to do it”.
Sarah Ellis: And so, as Helen mentioned, we aren’t actually going to speak concerning the emotions and the feelings that go along with pivoting, that are very actual and at occasions may be very arduous. I believe pivoting, you’ll be able to kind of get pivot fatigue. I used to be studying some analysis earlier than immediately about individuals speaking about, they have been making an attempt to make a pivot occur and it feels prefer it’s stalled or bought caught, or maybe it feels prefer it stopped after which it began a bit so it is felt a bit advert hoc. And I do assume these are all of the realities of constructing a pivot occur.
I believe it by no means occurs in a single day, I believe typically you nudge your method into pivoting. I believe pivoting, our start line due to the phrase, at all times feels actually dramatic, like we will have this in a single day change of profession, whereas I do assume the fact is we’re more likely to type of make a sequence of mini pivots to get to the place we’re going, moderately than simply go from zero to hero, I suppose. So, that’s type of the context. We all know that there are moments the place you will attempt a number of the issues that we’ll speak about immediately and they may not work, otherwise you would possibly really feel such as you’re not that a lot additional ahead. However what we expect is that for those who maintain going again to those steps to this course of, it should assist to information you in the fitting course.
Helen Tupper: And pivots are useful on your growth as a result of they maintain you studying. So while you’re pivoting, you are most likely going to must discover ways to work with totally different individuals, or tips on how to develop totally different expertise, or tips on how to get your head round a brand new context, so it is fairly a forcing perform actually for studying. It additionally lets you create extra alternatives. So, we regularly speak about one of many issues with ladder-like careers is you are typically in ‘wait’ mode, ready for the subsequent promotion, ready for somebody to provide the subsequent challenge to work on; whereas in Squiggly Careers, we actually wish to be in ‘create’ mode, as a result of that provides us extra possession over our alternatives and means we’re much less depending on anybody explicit place.
And pivots are undoubtedly a method that you just create extra potentialities, since you’re getting very interested in your profession and also you’re actually enthusiastic about, “The place can my skills take me?” excess of, “The place do my titles take me?” They’re undoubtedly price wanting into as a risk on your development. What we will do is discuss by way of a five-part course of that will help you to try this. So, I am going to simply summarise it after which we will undergo every a part of the method in flip and simply discuss it by way of and clarify what it appears to be like like. And we’ll summarise all of it on the PodSheet, which you’ll be able to both get from the present notes or from our web site on the podcast web page. However the 5 elements of the method are: (1) plot your pivot potentialities; (2) spot your pivot individuals; (3) create pivot tasks; (4) apply and ask; and (5) take satisfaction in your pivot.
Sarah Ellis: So, the primary half is about plotting your potentialities. That is most likely the half that I might at all times get pleasure from probably the most, and I believe I’ve at all times loved probably the most once I’ve been enthusiastic about desirous to do one thing totally different, as a result of that is after we actually wish to be in ‘exploring’ mode, in producing, enthusiastic about concepts. We do not wish to constrain ourselves too quickly. I at all times assume the fact for many issues kicks in fairly quickly, so let’s be assured that that can occur. However for now, as you are first getting began, I do assume right here you are contemplating the artwork of the doable, the place you would possibly go and what you would possibly do. And I believe that has to start out with you.
So, what do you wish to be recognized for? What are the transferrable skills that you just wish to take with you? What are these issues that basically offer you power? So, once I was reflecting on this for myself, I believe my most constant factor that I’ve needed to be recognized for, that is been in each pivot risk that I’ve ever explored, has at all times been round concepts. So, concepts is at all times my start line for any pivot risk. So long as I’ve bought the power to create and to have concepts, I am , I am intrigued, it is a good place for me to start out. Then, I believe it’s a must to join the dots between what you wish to be recognized for and who wants what you wish to be recognized for.
So, I at all times consider this as provide and demand. So, it is okay me saying that I wish to be recognized for concepts and it is what offers me power, however is that what individuals want? Are there roles the place they speak about being artistic or having concepts or innovating or doing issues for the primary time? If I am unable to actually see these tasks or these positions, possibly in the mean time it isn’t a talent that’s in demand or possibly it is being talked about in a barely totally different method. That is the place, if I wasn’t positive about provide and demand, I might do the scanning train that we generally speak about after we speak about profession potentialities, which once more I at all times get pleasure from as a result of I fairly like suspending actuality I believe for a bit, and simply taking a look at a number of totally different job specs on LinkedIn and use these as a little bit of a filter for what are individuals on the lookout for. So, if I used to be taking a look at totally different potentialities, I might begin to see, are individuals utilizing the phrases ‘thought’; are they utilizing ‘create new alternatives’, ‘alternative’ would most likely be fairly a great one for me to search for. And you may simply begin to see, “Okay, properly I do know what I want to do, I do know what individuals want, how can I put myself able to get near these issues?”
And I believe at this level, you might be aiming for most likely 4 to 6 totally different pivot potentialities. Perhaps a few of these are fairly near what you are doing immediately, possibly a few of them really feel additional away, some is likely to be in your organisation, some is likely to be exterior, is likely to be in your trade, is likely to be exterior your trade. So I at all times assume, try to have enjoyable with this. However I do assume generally individuals are on this stage of simply going, “I do not know what I do not know”, and I believe this can assist you to only get some readability on, “Okay, properly it might seem like this, or possibly I might think about this chance”, and it offers you one thing to work with. You would possibly change all of it midway by way of the method, however a minimum of you’ve got bought a place to begin.
Helen Tupper: And I believe, you already know you mentioned 4 to 6? I believe that is an essential level to make about pivots, as a result of generally you are within the position that you just’re in immediately and you’ll see a pivot that you just wish to make, and then you definitely’re simply going, “Properly, I am in A and I need B, that pivot”, and I nonetheless assume that is problematic since you’ve bought actually fixated on one model of the long run, and so you are not essentially exploring round that chance. Whereas ideally, for those who’ve bought multiple pivot, there’s multiple factor that you are able to do or transfer into, then you are able to do extra exploring and create extra alternatives. So, simply as we might say with ladders, “Do not repair your self to a singular promotion”, I believe do not repair your self to a single pivot, as a result of then you definitely’re changing into very depending on that pivot being doable.
So, having multiple is a extremely good factor. So, the second a part of the method is to identify your pivot individuals. So, you go from Sarah’s train, which will get you to possibly 4 to 6 totally different pivot potentialities; now, we wish to take into consideration some pivot individuals. Pivot individuals have gotten some type of connection to that profession risk, possibly as a result of they’re doing or have accomplished the job that you just’d love to do, or possibly they work within the space that you just wish to, or possibly they know someone who could possibly be helpful to you.
So, if I take into consideration an instance pivot risk, if I used to be to consider, “What do I wish to be recognized for?” So, power undoubtedly, profession growth; they’re two issues I actually care about. So, if I take into consideration a pivot risk for me, I not too long ago spoke at Oxford College, which felt very massive and grand, to their about 200 MBA college students initially of their MBA programme. And it did make me assume, Sarah and I’ve talked earlier than about being some visiting professor in universities sharing squiggly expertise with college students, which I believe is interesting to us.
So I believe for me, there’s most likely some type of pivot risk, which is the place I am spending a part of my time supporting college students with Squiggly Careers not directly, form or type; there is a pivot risk there. So, what I might take into consideration, with that being one in all my pivot potentialities, is possibly who already delivers some type of profession help to a pupil context, college or sixth type or at school, no matter that appears like; I’d take into consideration who works in academia, does not essentially do what I want to do, however works in that space and will give me some perception; or, simply someone who’s in my community immediately that is likely to be related into that space that I might have a dialog with. So, these pivot individuals principally get you nearer to that risk. All you are going to do is get in contact with them and have a curious dialog. So, this is not, “Are you able to make my pivot doable?” So, it isn’t that at this stage. That is, “Can I study extra about this space I am fascinated by, since you’re nearer to it than I’m?” That is all that is, and also you’re simply gathering info. However it is extremely probably, as we are going to come on to, that folks would be the unlocker of your pivot, as a result of instantly making use of is not at all times that simple while you’ve not accomplished the job earlier than. So, it’s useful to have these relationships. However actually at this stage, we’re simply unlocking studying, gaining extra perception.
Sarah Ellis: Anyone did this really to me not too long ago, the place they work at an organization that we work with, and so they mentioned they’ve at all times felt like possibly they want to work in studying and profession growth, however they weren’t positive. And I am a fan of the voice word.
Helen Tupper: Sure, you might be! I like your voice notes now; I’ve grown to like them!
Sarah Ellis: You have grown to like them!
Helen Tupper: I’ve. I believe I’ve simply been phrase down! I keep in mind initially, I used to be like, “When am I speculated to take heed to this?” Now, I like them. I listened to yours immediately, it was very good. You are strolling alongside and chatting and I used to be like, “Oh, that is good!”
Sarah Ellis: Yeah, I do not know what it says about me. I fairly benefit from the one-way-ness of them, I believe!
Helen Tupper: I do know, I do know that!
Sarah Ellis: However I did say to this individual, as a result of I really could not find time for the dialog that they needed to have instantly, however I did say, “In the event you depart me a voice word along with your questions, then I am going to reply them”, as a result of then I can do it at a bizarre, random time that works for me and we do not have to coordinate diaries, and all that type of stuff. And so, I believe I admired that that individual was courageous sufficient to get in contact with me and principally ask to try this. And regardless that I did not fairly most likely say sure in a great method for them, they are going to nonetheless find yourself getting their questions answered and so they nonetheless can have made a connection. And likewise, I am going to keep in mind them, as a result of we have gone backwards and forwards just a few occasions on voice notes, and hopefully then I’d meet someone who I am going to assume, “Oh, it’s going to be helpful for them to talk to that individual”, after which all of a sudden you’ve got created that chain of connections that we have talked about earlier than. So, quantity three is creating some pivot tasks.
So, I believe the toughest factor about pivoting is that you will do one thing that you have not accomplished earlier than, and that at all times feels arduous. And infrequently, it’s nonetheless sadly simpler to recruit someone who appears to be like the identical because the individual earlier than. We hope that is altering. A part of our mission round Squiggly Careers is to alter that so that folks look first for issues like, “Properly, are individuals nice at studying, and are they good at being a newbie; are they nice at managing uncertainty and alter?” These issues most likely really feel extra essential than whether or not you’ve got accomplished an actual job earlier than. However it’s arduous and we all know that is arduous. So, your skills are going to wish to do the speaking for you. So, I believe something that you are able to do to place into observe the skills that you just wish to take with you earlier than you pivot, the higher ready you will be and the extra probably you will be to succeed, while you get into the making use of stage. This would possibly seem like tasks, this would possibly seem like volunteering, this could possibly be facet tasks, ardour tasks, hobbies, something that you are able to do, I believe, to get some further expertise the place you are not making an attempt to cover the truth that you have not accomplished one thing earlier than.
I at all times assume you are higher to speak about it, however what you might be displaying is loads of initiative and being actually proactive. And I am positive we have mentioned it earlier than, however I do not assume that is as typical or as widespread as all people listening would possibly assume, as a result of for those who’re listening to a profession growth podcast, you most likely have loads of initiative. So, you are most likely considering, “Properly, certainly all people does this”, however I do not assume individuals do. And so, I believe for those who can create these alternatives for your self, they’re small alternatives to pivot that you just’re very a lot accountable for. You are being resourceful round looking for alternatives to get expertise of your pivot earlier than you get there. It is only a sensible factor to do and you will find out extra concerning the pivots that you just’re enthusiastic about; you would possibly make new connections, again to what Helen was speaking about by way of getting the fitting individuals round you; and it will not assure that you will then undoubtedly get these roles, nevertheless it offers you tons extra to speak about. It would present that you just’re actually critical and also you by no means know, it’d open up a unique alternative alongside the best way as properly.
Helen Tupper: Had a superb e-mail from somebody final week who was comparatively early on of their profession, and had gone into a task that they realised they principally did not get pleasure from. They usually mentioned, “So, I’ve gone out and I’ve bought a mentor in an space that I am fascinated by so I can study extra from them. And I’ve gone and I have been investing on this talent as a result of I believe that is an space I am fascinated by. And I volunteered to work on this challenge”, and accomplished principally all of the stuff that we’re saying right here, actually put themselves on the market. They usually messaged me and mentioned, “However I really feel like I am doing all of it fallacious and I do not know if that is the fitting factor to do”. And most of my e-mail again was like, “Please realise how optimistic and proactive that you’re being. You’re doing precisely the fitting factor. You have realised the factor that you just wish to do is not supplying you with power, you are exploring and connecting and creating alternatives; it should most likely take a little bit of time, however you might be doing it with 100% the fitting strategy”. And I felt like this individual simply wanted a bit little bit of like —
Sarah Ellis: I suppose, reassurance.
Helen Tupper: Yeah, which I gave and I believed, I am very completely satisfied to offer that to somebody and she or he undoubtedly, undoubtedly deserved that reassurance, however I am like, “Anyone else needs to be reassuring you. I need you to be getting reassurance from greater than us!”
Sarah Ellis: Have you learnt what, that is additionally not the primary time that I’ve heard that, and I do wonder if generally it is as a result of the payoff for taking these actions is not at all times fast. And so you might be like, on paper you are doing all the proper issues, and then you definitely most likely do get to a degree the place you are like, “Properly, I have been doing this now for 3 months. Why has it not resulted in one thing, why am I not seeing the end result?” And I believe that then begins to really feel actually arduous, proper, since you’re like, “Properly, I’m making an attempt actually arduous and I’m taking my initiative”, and that is the place I believe it’s a must to be decided.
And likewise, hopefully, a few of these issues that you’re doing which are possibly exterior of your position or that you just’re placing your hand up for, hopefully a few of these issues you might be having fun with. I believe in the event that they’re issues that you just wish to get nearer to, in the event that they’re supplying you with power and also you’re having fun with them, in the event that they’ve not paid off but, that is most likely okay. In the event you’re feeling such as you’re having to pressure them then they’re maybe not the fitting issues. That may be the opposite query simply to consider.
Helen Tupper: And I believe that hyperlinks to the fourth a part of this course of, which is about making use of. So, up till this level, you’ve got explored your potentialities, you’ve got had some conversations with pivot individuals, you’ve got proactively created some pivot tasks. There’s a level at which we will apply for the pivot place that we wish to do. And this stage actually is about ‘apply’, but in addition ensuring that you just ‘ask’ for perception and for suggestions. And the explanation that is essential is, pivots require persistence. You won’t get the primary position that you just apply for, as a result of possibly you have not bought the connection with that one who might decide on that pivot, or possibly you have not fairly bought the fitting expertise but.
So, I believe simply bear that in thoughts. That is the place believing in your self and having confidence within the transfer and doing a few of these pivot tasks so you’ve got bought power is admittedly, actually essential. And while you’re making use of, if you aren’t getting the challenge or the place that you just’re making an attempt to pivot into, search for the educational right here, as a result of it’d really feel actually irritating and also you would possibly really feel a bit upset and even demotivated about, “Oh, am I doing the fitting factor?” Actually, actually search for the educational. The educational comes within the suggestions. So, for instance I am making use of for a task with Sarah, and I pivot into the job at Wonderful If. Sarah thinks it isn’t fairly the fitting transfer for me to make in the mean time. I might go away from that and simply really feel unhappy, or I might search for the educational, which might be me saying to Sarah, “It is undoubtedly one thing I might fascinated by. Subsequent time I’ve a dialog about this, is there something that you just noticed in me that you just assume it could be helpful for me to know, in order that I can put myself in a extremely optimistic place sooner or later?” Ask for suggestions, ask for perception, even ask for connections, you already know, “I might wish to study extra about this. Is there anybody that you might join me to so I can get nearer to it?” Search for the educational, create the alternatives, however simply bear in mind that making use of does require a little bit of persistence while you’re making pivots.
Sarah Ellis: And even worse than this, I do hear, to be trustworthy, increasingly examples of the place individuals apply and get nothing, so get ghosted basically. So, you get no suggestions, you get, “No, you were not profitable”, you are clearly then not getting an interview. I do assume there’s additionally a degree the place in case you are making use of, lets say you might be getting interviews, however you are not profitable, you would possibly sooner or later go, “Properly, I am going to give myself a time restrict”. I at all times assume cut-off dates are useful. So, “Over this 12 months [or] over the subsequent six months, I’ll apply and be actually formidable and actually go for my pivot all-out the place I might ideally wish to go”. If after six months you are not getting any interviews, or you might be getting interviews however you are by no means being supplied the position, then you definitely do want to regulate, you do must adapt and maybe assume in a different way.
You would possibly wish to assume, “Properly, what’s a neater pivot? What’s a midway pivot?” I keep in mind considering once I was in Sainsbury’s, “Oh, I might actually wish to go and work in [surprise, surprise] studying and growth”. And it was actually removed from the place I used to be; I used to be working in advertising and marketing. And truly, the extra I explored it, I undoubtedly would have preferred to have gone and accomplished it, however I simply felt prefer it wasn’t going to occur. I might sense, I used to be like, “Oh, I am undecided they’re up for someone coming from such a unique space. Additionally, the individuals in these roles are most likely not likely going anyplace”. I wasn’t essentially making use of, however I might been fairly persistent, having a number of the conversations, a number of the issues that we have been speaking about, getting concerned in some tasks. So, I might accomplished a few of these steps that we have described.
After which I believed, “Have you learnt what, it is most likely not likely going to occur”. And so, I did then begin to adapt and modify and assume, “Okay, properly the place else and what else?” And it does not imply it’s a must to hand over on that factor you wish to pivot in direction of, as a result of clearly I did not, however I did take into consideration doing it otherwise. So, you’ll be able to pivot exterior for a bit, it does not at all times must be your day job, you are able to do a a lot smaller pivot. What you do not wish to do is get to the purpose the place you both really feel burnt out or simply really feel actually down about your capabilities or what you have to supply, as a result of for those who’re doing all this stuff, you may be nice. The opposite high tip I might have really, for those who’re enthusiastic about pivoting, search for individuals who have gotten a observe document of recruiting pivoting individuals, as a result of I believe these individuals are already open to people who find themselves squiggling.
And clearly, all people needs to be open to squiggling, however we have not bought to all people but. We are going to do, we are going to; that is our lifetime mission. Our legacy might be to get to all people to persuade them about Squiggly Careers!
Helen Tupper: Properly, working example, I used to be with TikTok immediately, launching TikTok’s Profession Week and speaking about Squiggly Careers, and I had a panel of six totally different individuals from TikTok who have been speaking about their profession. They usually have been tremendous, super-pivot-y. They’d accomplished so many alternative issues in several markets and totally different industries. And so clearly you are like, “Oh, that could be a model which values individuals’s skills over their titles”. Most of these individuals hadn’t made a title-based transfer. And I believe asking individuals, “Do individuals pivot in your organization?” or simply speaking to individuals about their Squiggly Profession tales and listening to, that is all I did immediately, and also you’re listening to and you are going, “Oh, they’re attention-grabbing strikes that folks have made”. I believe an organization that prioritises the attention-grabbing strikes individuals have made and helps them to maneuver into extra attention-grabbing strikes, that are not at all times logical and linear, is a little bit of a sign that they’ll be extra open to someone who desires to pivot. So, yeah, I undoubtedly assume search for pivot recruiters, search for firms the place there are Squiggly Profession tales in them; they’re at all times a great signal that they is likely to be extra open to those sorts of strikes.
Sarah Ellis: And the final one, so quantity 5, is about taking satisfaction in your pivot. And this actually hyperlinks to the Squiggly Profession tales that Helen simply talked about. We see, time and time once more, that when individuals share their tales, it exhibits all people else what may be and what they will do, and it simply feels actually inspiring, and on the identical time, sensible and related. You make one thing that feels arduous to do, way more accessible by sharing your Squiggly Profession story. So, in case you have pivoted, please be sure you discuss to individuals about it, what labored for you, what did not work, what helped you, what felt actually arduous. And that does not must be on one thing like LinkedIn, although in fact it may be, or TikTok, if you would like it to be, nevertheless it could possibly be simply in your staff or in your organization. And I believe all people has a pivot story of their Squiggly Profession someplace alongside the best way.
And you might even do as a staff train, “What is the pivot you’ve got made in your Squiggly Profession up to now that maybe would possibly shock individuals, or what did you study from it?” as a result of actually early on in your profession, everybody at all times does a variety of jobs. So, sooner or later you’ll have, I do not know, pivoted from doing all of your newspaper spherical to being an aerobics teacher, for those who’re me. That may be one in all my funnier pivots previously! Undecided there was a great deal of transferrable expertise. Perhaps speaking to individuals a bit bit, operating away from scary canine once I was posting newspapers and stuff, staying match. However I believe getting individuals to only share their tales actually sticks. And I believe by no means underestimate how a lot we reply to tales. And it is also actually good so that you can be happy with them, but in addition it is how one can have a ripple impact on different individuals too.
Helen Tupper: I additionally assume, if you wish to make extra pivots sooner or later, it is helpful for individuals to nearly see your pivotability.
Sarah Ellis: You are actually making an attempt to make {that a} phrase, aren’t you?!
Helen Tupper: Yeah, I am completely making this a phrase!
Sarah Ellis: You have been like, “I wish to make it a phrase”!
Helen Tupper: “What’s your pivotability?”
Sarah Ellis: And also you wrote on the high of this, I am going to say script, in inverted commas, you have been like, “I actually like ‘pivotability'”. So, I used to be like, “I am simply not going to touch upon that”!
Helen Tupper: So, my level although on pivotability is that if I, I imply I do not actually do that in the mean time, however I’ve made fairly just a few pivots. So, if I talked concerning the pivots I had made, like trade pivots and issues like that, it could give a way of confidence in my pivotability, the truth that you might transfer me to totally different positions and I am fairly good at selecting up a brand new place or selecting up a brand new trade.
So nearly, I believe if you wish to do multiple pivot in your profession, for those who assume, “This can be a great way for me to develop”, I believe having some confidence in telling your Squiggly Profession pivot story, “These are pivots I’ve made, that is what I discovered from it”, all that type of stuff, helps different individuals to really feel assured in unlocking future pivots so that you can do. Since you’ve proven that you just’re tried and examined like, “That is one thing that I do properly, and due to this fact it is a simple factor for me to do to pivot into a brand new place, as a result of I’ve bought expertise of doing it successfully earlier than”. That is what I imply by pivotability!
Sarah Ellis: We’ll see. We could see whether or not it catches on or not?!
Helen Tupper: I do not know, what is the signal that the time period ‘pivotability’ catches on? Okay, right here we go, let’s have a look at. In the event you assume pivotability is, let’s give it, is {that a} helpful time period or a ineffective time period, e-mail us! You’ll have by no means emailed us earlier than. You possibly can actually simply say, helenandsarah@squigglycareers.com, and within the topic line, “Pivotability equals ‘helpful’ or ‘ineffective'”. After which, I am going to additionally publish about it on LinkedIn and I am going to see whether or not it sticks; you by no means know!
Sarah Ellis: It appears like a kind of, I imply we won’t discuss as a result of we’re writing a guide in the mean time, however like so many enterprise books really feel like they must be one phrase. “Pivotability”, our books are very a lot —
Helen Tupper: “The pivot impact”!
Sarah Ellis: Yeah! There most likely is; there’s most likely a guide referred to as that. However we hope that has been helpful for you. We all know pivoting is difficult, it takes perseverance and persistence. So, good luck in case you are going by way of this course of in the mean time.
And if there’s one thing we have missed, in case you have pivoted efficiently and also you assume, “Oh, really, it might be actually useful if the Squiggly Profession listeners knew about… and Sarah and Helen did not point out it”, get in contact with us, tell us, message us on LinkedIn, as a result of we are able to at all times embrace it as a part of the assets that we share, whether or not that is on issues just like the PodNote or the PodSheet. We put all of these issues collectively so that you’ve got the whole lot in a single place, but in addition to try to make our concepts and the actions simple so that you can share with different individuals too.
Helen Tupper: And we additionally put another really helpful assets. So, I believe an professional on this space is Jenny Blake, who’s written a guide referred to as Pivot, in order that’s undoubtedly a really helpful learn, or a hear for those who’d moderately take heed to books. However that’s the whole lot from us this week, and so we’ll be again with you very quickly, all people. Bye for now.
Sarah Ellis: Bye everybody!
