In this insightful episode, the third of our International Women's Day series, host Lucy Costelloe sits down with Anna Wiseman, Director of Wise Collaborations, to explore the concept of "squiggly careers" and how arts professionals can embrace non-linear career paths. Anna shares her journey from audience development and marketing in heritage and theatre to project management, ticketing systems, and eventually setting up her own consultancy.

You'll learn:

1. What a "squiggly career" is and how it differs from the traditional career ladder approach, allowing for more variety, growth opportunities, and alignment with personal values.

2. Anna's theory of "Rockstar Mode" vs. "Superstar Mode" – how some professionals thrive on specialisation while others need constant challenges and variety as "generalists."

3. Why arts professionals are well-positioned for squiggly careers due to their resilience, problem-solving abilities, relationship-building skills, and capacity to wear multiple hats.

4. The importance of identifying your core values and key strengths to guide your career choices and navigate potential distractions or misaligned opportunities.
