High performance habits for your Squiggly career

What’s one small thing you could do today that your future self would thank you for? In this squiggly shortcut, Helen shares four high performance habits that compound over time to build a resilient and successful career.

Drawing on the time-tracking insights of Laura Vanderkam, Adam Grant’s research on the power of giving, and Helen and Sarah’s own ‘Learn Like a Lobster’ framework, learn how small, intentional behaviours in learning, tracking, reflecting, and giving can transform your day-to-day work and build long-term career resilience.

🎯 What You’ll Learn
– Why little and often learning is the secret to keeping your skills relevant
– How tracking your time and energy provides vital data for your development
– What your default response to reflection reveals about your working pace
– How to use the ‘What Worked Well, Even Better If’ framework for quick daily reflection
– Why giving and ‘career karma’ can generate 50% more success and reciprocity
– How to choose and build just one high performance habit at a time
