Why It Matters
“You don’t need a plan right away. You need a foundation.”
Losing your job — whether expected or not — triggers more than just a career shift. It hits your routine, confidence, and self-worth. That first reaction can shape your entire transition.
And while the instinct might be to “do something fast,” the smartest first move is to stop and listen — to yourself.
Step One: Separate the Event From the Identity
This is the moment to step back, not sprint forward.

Mistakes to Avoid
Your Calendar is Now a Weapon — Use It Wisely
Structure your week like this:
- 2–3 calls with peers, mentors, or ex-colleagues
- 1–2 mornings of deep thinking or writing
- 1 block for exploratory conversations in adjacent spaces
- Space to rest — this is part of the process
Don’t confuse stillness with stagnation. This is intentional space.
Signal, But Don’t Shout
You don’t need a megaphone. But you do need visibility.
This attracts the right kind of outreach — and gives you back control of the narrative.
