I've been coaching more and more people on the issue
of layoffs as it's been coming up frequently in my membership, the
Quitter Club. In this episode, I talk about the practical and
emotional aspects of dealing with layoffs.
While the practical steps like updating resumes and networking are
important, a significant source of pain and anxiety comes from our
thoughts and emotions surrounding the idea of being laid off.
It’s important to understand how our thoughts about potential
layoffs, dread, anxiety, and uncertainty can add so much
unnecessary drama and suffering to an already difficult
situation.
Learning how to process our emotions, and not solely focus on
trying to control the uncertainty of the situation, can help us
navigate this difficult time. I share strategies and techniques for
managing the emotional impact of layoffs, drawing on my experience
coaching clients in similar situations. Tune in to learn how to
navigate the challenges of layoffs with resilience and
self-compassion.
