Facing the prospect of a layoff can be incredibly stressful, but maintaining a positive mindset is crucial for navigating this challenging time. Communication, both with oneself and others, plays a key role in this process. By focusing on proactive steps and positive self-talk, you can better manage the emotional turmoil and maintain a sense of control. It's important to acknowledge your feelings, but also to look forward and plan for the future.

1 Stay Informed

Knowledge is power, especially when facing a layoff. Stay informed about your company's situation and any severance packages or support they may offer. Understanding your rights and what you're entitled to can provide a sense of security during uncertain times. Keep communication lines open with your employer and don't be afraid to ask questions. This information will not only help you prepare for the future but also empower you to make informed decisions.

I'm surprised this isn't on here already but the first thing that comes to mind is to take deep breaths. Feel the fears. It's perfectly normal. Then, reach out to your closest social circle, the people who you feel safe and 100% yourself around, those who believe in you the most. You will need their support!

2 Financial Review

A looming layoff means it's time to get your finances in order. Review your savings, cut back on non-essential spending, and consider creating a budget if you haven't already. This financial review will help you understand how long you can sustain yourself without income and identify areas where you can reduce expenses. It's a practical step that can provide peace of mind and allow you to focus on the future without the added stress of financial uncertainty.

A looming layoff is a reminder that you should get finances in order. But there's no better time than ASAP to cover your financial bases. A financial advisor told me to have 6x-12x of my monthly spend in a savings account or, better yet, an investment fund that allows you to withdraw the money any time. 6, 8, or 12? That depends on your appetite for risk. Depending on where you live, inform yourself on any benefits for those who are unemployed. Whether it's an allowance or free entrance to museums, they are yours to enjoy.

3 Update Resume

Your resume is your ticket to new opportunities. Take the time to update it with your latest skills and experiences. Highlight accomplishments that demonstrate your value to potential employers. A well-crafted resume can boost your confidence and remind you of your professional worth during a time when it's easy to feel undervalued. Preparing your resume also keeps you proactive and focused on moving forward.

I don't know about you, but I'm way better spotting other people's strengths than my own! Yikes. If you're like me then reach out to friends who work in HR as well as Marketing and Communications. They can help you spruce up your CV, plus give you a boost of confidence reminding you of your strengths and accomplishments!

4 Network Actively

Networking is key when anticipating a layoff. Reach out to colleagues, industry contacts, and friends to let them know you're looking for new opportunities. Engage on professional social media platforms and attend industry events. Building and maintaining relationships can open doors to unexpected opportunities and provide support from those who understand your situation. Remember, networking is about building genuine connections, not just asking for favors.

Oofff... It was hard for me to network well when I was already looking for a job. I found that I was selling myself more than actually making real connections. Now I see networking as a way to add value, a way for me to HELP OTHERS, whether it's connecting them to someone that they might learn from, sharing a podcast episode they might find interesting, or just sending a "good luck!" message before that presentation they told you they were nervous about.

5 Embrace Change

Embracing change can be difficult, but it's often necessary for growth. View the potential layoff as an opportunity to reassess your career goals and explore new paths. Consider further education or training to enhance your skills. Being open to change can lead to exciting opportunities that you may not have considered otherwise. It's a chance to reinvent yourself professionally and personally.

We change every day, every minute, or less! We just don't notice it because it happens incrementally. There's nothing incremental about losing a job. The range of emotions you will feel will vary. You'll think you're all great and confident in one moment then maybe recoil in shame and fear on the next. Seek help if you need it. You don't have to go through this alone. Message me if you want to! I've been there, hun. It sucks. But it can be beautiful, too!
