Summary
There are lot of positive aspects of a lay off including:
Time for self reflection
Unlimited holidays
Upskilling
Networking
Hobbies
Reconnecting with child hood school, college, university & corporate friends
Having a positive & strong mindset helps to cope with a lay off, I have observed how some of my colleagues were able to quickly navigate & move on to either to join a new corporate, or taking up freelancing projects or by pursuing their passions.
A lay off is an excellent opportunity to sit back, reskill, re-strategize, look at alternate roles, reconnect with long lost friends/relatives and literally come out with a refreshed attitude to take on new challenges.
I welcome you to walk alongside with me on this path, understand & execute the tricks of the trade & flourish in your life!
