We've been inspired by MVF, a global technology and marketing company who've introduced a program called "Connected Learning." They blind-match their employees so that people can learn from each other without barriers like what job they do or who they know getting in the way. Their CEO, Michael Teixeira, told us, "Everybody is in charge of their own learning here. We all learn from each other and with each other, and we're much better off as a result."
这一点我们受到了MVF的启发，MVF是一家全球科技和营销公司，它引入了一个名为“互联学习”的项目。他们随机匹配他们的员工，这样人们就可以互相学习，而不受他们所做工作或者是否互相认识等因素的阻碍。他们的首席执行官迈克尔·特谢拉告诉我们，“这里每个人的学习由自己负责，彼此相互学习，共同学习，大家因此变得更好。"
blind-match /blaɪnd mætʃ/ v. 随机匹配 barriers /ˈbærɪəz/ n. 障碍；栅栏；篱笆墙 (barrier 的复数形式) better off 变得更好 as a result 作为结果 因此
SE: In squiggly careers, we need to change our perspective on progression. The problem with career ladders is that they only go in one direction, and you can only take one step at a time. If progression purely means promotion, we miss out on so many of the opportunities that are all around us. We need to stop asking only, "What job comes next?" and start asking, "What career possibilities am I curious about?"
萨拉·埃利斯：在曲线型职业生涯中，我们需要改变对职业发展的看法。职业阶梯的问题是，只能朝一个方向走，而且一次只能走一步。如果职业发展仅仅意味着晋升，我们就会错过身边的很多机会。我们需要不再只问“下一份工作是什么？”而要开始问“我对哪些职业发展可能性可能比较有兴趣？"

We can all start exploring our career possibilities. It might be an ambitious possibility that you don't feel ready for yet. Or perhaps it's a pivot that feels interesting, but just that bit out of reach. Or maybe it's a dream that you've discounted. The most important thing is that you give yourself the permission to explore.
我们每个人都可以开始探索自己职业发展的可能性。这可能是一个极具挑战的职业发展机会，你还没有为此准备好。或者可能是一个有趣的职业转向，却还差那么一点点才能实现。又或者是一个你过去没有认真对待的梦想。最重要的是你要允许自己去探索。
