AI Skills Sprint: How To Identify Your Values (Your Filter For Your Future)

Hi, I'm Helen. And I'm Sarah. And this is the Squiggly Careers Podcast, and you are listening to day two of our Squiggly Careers Skill Sprint, where today we are gonna be talking about values. More on that in a moment, but maybe you've started at day two of our sprint and you're thinking, what is this? So this is a five day learning experience to support you and your development. And probably the most important thing is that you are signed up for sprinting so that you get the daily summaries, which will have all of the links to tools we talk about today. uh prompts that you can cut and paste to make this easier for you, and we've got screenshots so you can see how to get started with some of the things that we're going to be talking about. So what are values and why do they matter in the context of your squiggly career? So values are what motivate and drive you. They're what makes you you. You don't have work values and home values, you just sort of have what's most important to you. And I think with values they can feel a bit abstract or sometimes a bit fluffy, like what what are these value things?

But the reason that it matters to spend some time thinking about your values certainly from from my own experience, is when you understand kind of your real drivers, I think you just make loads better decisions. And in a squiggly career, we have more choices, more decisions about where we might go, what we want to do. And there's more change and uncertainty. So when you understand your values, I think they are a brilliant filter for your future.

Should I stay in this company? Should I do something different? Uh, what jobs do I want to do? Who do I want to work with? Who do I want to work for? And if I think about my best squiggly career choices, When I've used my values. I've made what might look like brave decisions to other people, but have actually been brilliant decisions for me.
