Never ever be a victim of layoffs again
|
Reader, The company where I work my day job is in the midst of an acquisition. This means many employees feel insecure about their jobs. When I recently conducted training, several colleagues were commenting about how people were feeling fearful. They asked me for advice (translation: reassurance they would be ok). I understand these are uncertain times that can be frightening. As the primary provider, I know this worry firsthand - of not having an income while having a family to support. Here's what I told them. Layoffs is just part of corporate life. When you sign up for a job, you signed up for this 'risk' too. Nothing in life is guaranteed. You can't predict, stop or control when layoffs happen. Instead, you can:
While I know it can be uncomfortable, I also know if I'm faced with job or income loss, I can handle it. Not because I have a secret stash fund (although that would be nice), but because I won't let it to mess with my head and heart.

What if your sensitivity isn't a weakness but a superpower? What if your intuition isn't 'soft' but your competitive advantage? What if your desire for meaningful work isn't 'unrealistic' but exactly what the...
Reader, Here's a stat that stopped me in my tracks: 73% of working mothers are planning a career change within the next 12 months. But here's what the research doesn't tell you: Most of them will make the same mistake I made for years - they'll change their job, not their approach. Different company, same exhaustion. New role, same feeling that something's missing. What if I told you the women who actually create careers they love aren't just changing jobs - they're changing how they make...
