Congratulations, you've been laid off – yes, I said congratulations!
A layoff can be the perfect catalyst to reinvent your career and pursue a life more aligned with your goals.
In this episode, we’ll dive into 6 actionable steps to make your layoff a transformative experience.
1. Process & Grieve: Give yourself space to grieve. Layoffs can trigger rejection and emotional pain, so allow time to reflect without getting stuck.
