Skills Sprint: How to Learn From Feedback (Even When It’s Uncomfortable)

Hi, I'm Sarah and I'm Helen and this is day two of our Squiggly Careers sprint. We hope you had some fun knowing your notifications and starting to collect some data for your development. And today we're going to be diving into learning in hard moments. So this links to the fascinating feature lobsters have, which is that they grow the most when they shed. their shell.

So I think we're so used to seeing pictures of lobsters with their very beautiful shells. And what actually happens is that that shell becomes a constraint to their growth. And so they break out of their shell. It is an energy zapping process. They leave that old shell behind and they have this period of vulnerability.

They're kind of like a little jelly like, aren't they? Jelly like almost like see-through. And there's quite a lot of risk in this moment, but there is also a lot of reward because what happens is that shell that they shed can grow back and when it does, it is bigger and stronger than it was before. And we think this is the same for our learning.

We already have this episode, so unlocking it is cheap and permanent: the full transcript (11 minutes, 2,230 words), segment and word-level timestamps, and .txt, .srt, .vtt and word-level JSON downloads, as many times as you like, forever.

No account needed, we create one from your checkout email. With credits it is 1 credit; packs start at 10 episodes for $5, and monthly plans are cheaper still.
