Having been laid off three times, knowing how to go through the process is a sad skill to have, but I wanted to share some practical advice for those facing the uncertainty of potential job loss. I cover how to prepare for a layoff before it happens, the emotional rollercoaster of being let go, and the essential steps to take during and after the process. From understanding your severance package to managing the emotional fallout, I provide insights into handling layoffs with resilience and turning the experience into an opportunity for growth.

I heard you, and after a 13-month hiatus, The Crazy One podcast IS BACK. I am changing the format to be shorter and more focused so I can publish content more often and be more responsive to the topics you want to hear about. Episodes 130 and 131 are now live. Episode 130 discusses why the show went on hiatus, and episode 131 provides insights into what is probably holding you back from starting your own thing. I hope you enjoy the episodes. Let me know what you want to hear about in the future, and stay Crazy! https://lnkd.in/gK3c9YJ
