Conversations of Inspiration
Taking control of your career, without climbing the ladder, with Helen Tupper and Sarah Ellis, founders of Amazing If
17 Oct 2022
Have you ever wondered how you can ditch the career ladder and find an alternative route to success, where progression doesn’t just depend on promotion? Have you asked yourself, what am I good at? What do I stand for? What motivates and drives me? This week Holly speaks with Helen and Sarah, co-founders of Amazing If, an award-winning career development company with a twist. Champions of the Squiggly Career, Helen and Sarah are at the forefront of a fundamental shift that’s happening in the workplace. Where the traditional linear path is being replaced with a squiggly line that can allow you a career every bit as unique as you are. One that is full of opportunity, freedom and purpose – without having to constantly move roles and companies in order to progress. Currently, 65-70% of us feel we have to leave a job in order to change our role or position, but what if you just needed to squiggle? Amazing If is a platform that allows each of us to challenge the status quo. Not only arming us with the right tools and skills we need to thrive in a career we love, but also crucially instilling the inner confidence to recognise our strengths, where we can apply them to widen our expertise and believe that you can pursue the career you deserve. So are you looking to make a move in your career? Listen, as you might not have to change as much as you think.
