Navigating Redundancy

Processing the emotional impact, rebuilding confidence and identity, taking honest stock, and building a strategic approach to what comes next after involuntary job loss.

What's inside

This collection starts where the real work is — not with CV writing, but with processing what happened, separating identity from the role, and rebuilding confidence from the inside out. Each topic includes a micro lesson, blind spots, journal prompts, a five-day habit builder, and post-practice reflections.

The programme moves through four stages:

Processing the Change — The emotional reality of redundancy, grief and anger and what's underneath them, and separating fact from the stories you're telling yourself.

Identity & Confidence — Untangling who you are from the job title you lost, rebuilding confidence on evidence rather than external validation, and taking honest stock of what you still bring.

Taking Stock — An honest audit of what was working and what wasn't, clarifying what you actually want next versus what you think you should want, and defining the non-negotiables.

Moving Forward — Designing a strategic search beyond job boards, having conversations that open doors, and managing the financial, emotional, and practical realities of the gap.

How to use this collection

As a structured programme, deliver sequentially over eight to ten weeks. The emotional processing stages work best first, as they lay the groundwork for clearer decision-making later.

For targeted coaching, each section works independently. Pull just Processing the Change for a client in the early aftermath, or Taking Stock for someone who's been job hunting reactively and needs to pause.

As session preparation, assign journal prompts before each session. The pre-interview preparation tool is particularly useful before specific opportunities.
