When Layoffs Hit the Headlines, It’s Time to Pause — and Reimagine Your Next Chapter

The recent surge of layoffs across industries has left many professionals feeling shaken , even those who weren’t directly affected. Losing a job (or watching colleagues lose theirs) touches something deeper. It forces us to confront questions we often push aside:

Am I fulfilled?
Is this the work I want to keep doing?
Where do I actually want to go next?

While layoffs can feel like a setback, they can also be an unexpected invitation:
✨ to pause, reflect, and realign your career with who you are now.

A Layoff Isn’t Just a Loss — It’s a Turning Point

For many of us, our careers evolve faster than our self-awareness. We outgrow roles long before we admit it. We stay in environments that no longer fit. We chase goals we no longer recognize.

Moments of disruption, even painful ones, create space for clarity.

In my work with leaders navigating change, I’ve found that the most powerful shifts begin when people ask themselves:

• What truly matters to me now?

• What strengths do I want to use more intentionally?

• What kind of work supports the life I want to build?

• Where am I uniquely positioned to grow?

These aren’t résumé questions.
They are strategy questions, and they deserve strategy-level thinking.

Why Strategic Thinking Belongs in Your Career, Too

We use strategic thinking to run businesses, build products, and guide teams…
Yet we rarely use it to guide our own lives.

Your career deserves that same level of clarity.

That’s why I created the Strategic Career Design Workbook — an insightful guide that blends reflection with structure. It helps you:

• Clarify your non-negotiables

• Map your future self

• Evaluate options with strategic trade-offs

• Identify your unique value and strengths

• Turn insights into your first five next steps

• Craft a personal strategy statement to anchor your next chapter

It gives you space to breathe… and a framework to move forward.

If You’re in a Season of Uncertainty, You're Not Alone

Whether you were directly affected by the layoffs or simply feeling the emotional ripple effect, you deserve support, clarity, and a grounded path forward.

This moment does not define you.
But it can guide you — if you give yourself the space to listen.
