Is it possible to take control of your career in a world of work that’s full of change? Helen and Sarah think it is IF you focus on the right things in the right way. So, instead of over planning our careers they talk about increasing your control by defining what you want and developing the skills and support you need. By increasing your clarity and focusing on the factors that are in your control, you can better adapt and take advantage of the squiggleness we experience at work. Hosted on Acast.
