About the Class:
Navigating a job loss is a skill we can all use. It is rarely taught even though it is almost a universal experience for seasoned, experienced professionals. When we’re suddenly severed from our company, we lose our identity (title, position, power) and our sense of belonging to a community. It can be one of the most traumatic times of our professional lives. Yet, a career disruption is an opportunity to define our value and actively pursue a role that has meaning and purpose and brings you happiness and fulfillment.
I wrote my book Involuntary Exit to guide mid- and senior-level executives through the emotional roller coaster of job loss and how to take action to move forward with intention. Even if you’re not in transition now, the practical advice will put you ahead of the game. One reviewer on Amazon wrote, “If you are actively working and you even remotely sense that things aren't quite right between you and your employer, I strongly encourage you to trust your instincts, be proactive, and read this book.”
You will be able to learn some key takeaways:
Create a statement of fact about why you’re on the market and deliver it with confidence
Accept the emotional complexity of this career disruption, whether planned or unplanned
Reframe your mindset to open yourself up to new opportunities
Understand the elements of an effective elevator pitch
