Many of my talented Forbes Advisor colleagues were affected by layoffs yesterday. My heart hurts for everyone. And for those who were impacted from my team, I'm going to dearly miss interacting with you each week. Our friendships will remain no matter where we work. I'm looking forward to seeing what all these amazing people do next. If you're someone who's looking to hire some of the best content creators and editors in the personal finance space, please DM me as I'd love to make some recommendations. And to all my former teammates, please let me know if I can help in any way as you plan your next steps. I'd love to make connections or provide references. And even if you'd just like to chat, I'm here. ❤️

We’re in a really tough market; both the gaming and tech industries. Layoffs seem so frequent they’re hardly news, but each time I hear about it, my heart breaks for those impacted. Employers are beyond picky, and ghosting is a regular, unfortunate practice. If I’ve worked with you, or near you, or even if we barely know one another and you need a hand, please reach out. If you need: - a reference - a referral - a warm intro - a 2nd pair of eyes on your resume or portfolio - a kind word of encouragement - someone to just listen - a signal boost - access to my network - mentorship or coaching I am here for you. I’m in your corner. There is zero shame in asking for help and zero judgement on my end.

Hello LinkedIn world! I’m usually very quiet on here and I don’t post much. But I have been hearing so much from everyone that LinkedIn is so tough lately and it is. We see so many layoffs almost all of us have been impacted in one way or another. I learned something recently that I want to share. It’s beautiful to see everyone reposting and helping with connections for anyone “open to work”, and I thought what can we do beyond this? When we see new hires starting new jobs, when people are asking about culture and company ethics, when our peers are struggling, let’s help each other. I feel the job market is so scary right now that we can see employees with an “every man / woman for themselves mentality. But some top performers have been beat down trying to find a new role, some peers are feeling stuck but afraid. Our attitude, kindness, help can be the difference. Beyond the connections and reporting let’s pick each other up help with onboarding and welcoming. Sometimes we think the person is new we have to feel them out. But we need each other more than ever. To take a leap of faith, extend a helping hand, and be the support for others. Thanks for reading if you made it this far 😊

Let's ask ourselves: What can I give today? Many people in my network have recently been impacted by mass layoffs. Good people. Talented people. Empathetic and funny people. People who lead by embodying what they wish to see in the world. This got me thinking: how can we serve our colleagues in need? And beyond that, what can we do on a daily basis to express gratitude to people around us? Here are some things you can give that cost you nothing but a bit of time: - Words of appreciation - A LinkedIn recommendation for someone who was impacted by layoffs - A like, follow, or share for a small biz you love - Mentorship to an early-career colleague - A virtual "high five" for a stellar coworker - A thank you note - A "hello" to a friend you haven't seen in forever - Connect people to others who you know will jive together When we focus on what we can give, the universe gives back in a beautiful way. What else can you give today and every day? #leadership #empathy #gratitude

I’m not sure who needs to hear this but this post is here for anybody that needs to hear it. I hope it helps. Why we should redefine our perspective on layoffs. They weave a narrative that's hard to shake off, yet one that's all too familiar in the contemporary business world. Layoffs, while often a last resort, can shatter an individual's sense of security and trust in the organization. But here's a lesser-known aspect - such situations also present us with unique opportunities. Opportunities for personal growth, for expanding our skills, for exploring untapped potentials. Times of uncertainty have often led to the most significant breakthroughs in our personal and career lives. Yes, we're wired to fear change. But maybe, just maybe, embracing this change could pave the path to a fulfilling career we never imagined. Take action today. Identify your interests, upskill, and diversify. Become so versatile that no cloud, no matter how heavy, can unsettle your career boat. Remember, it's not the storm, but how we sail our ship, that determines our way ahead. I hope this post helps and if I can help in any way, please let me know.

As news of layoffs swell across LinkedIn, so does the steps and advise. Here are a couple of things I’ve learned. 1. Apply when you are ready. For some (like myself), that was the next day. For others, that is later. The key here is not to apply out of fear but out of certainty. 2. Ask yourself not only what you want to do, but what your passions and skills lend to.

Did your company recently go through yet another round of layoffs, that has left you wondering: - when will this uncertainty end? - If a department owning lead generation could be impacted, is my department next? Could I be next? - are we really a family of organizations, or a team of professionals? I empathize with folks in this tough position, it is not great for mental health, however, it can be turned into an opportunity for proactive professional growth. 1. Opportunity to proactively update your resume/linkedIn to be as strong as possible. 2. Opportunity to proactive create a culture of excellence with yourself and your family. 3. Opportunity to proactively apply for other positions, remove some of that uncertainty and leave on your own terms. Be the change you want to see in the world.

Crafting joyful experiences and timeless keepsakes through personalized handmade resin art and custom prints.
Embracing Imperfections: A Thought for Those Navigating Layoffs 🌟 My sister usually shares daily memes with me and this morning's message was a meaningful sentiment: "The word imperfect" actually spells "I'm perfect." Isn't it profound? In the face of layoffs and career setbacks, it's easy to feel less than ideal. But, it is important that we remember that our unique qualities, even the ones we see as flaws, have a purpose and value. To everyone affected by job changes: Your journey, with all its twists and turns, makes you who you are - perfectly imperfect. Your skills, experiences, and resilience are unmatched. Don't let setbacks dim your light. Keep shining, keep striving, and never lose hope. Because in your own "imperfect" ways, you are indeed "perfect". #StayStrong #CareerResilience #EmbraceYourJourney

Its never a good day when our channels are full of posts about layoffs and redundancies. Having worked with and directly supported hundreds of people going through these troubling times over the years, I can attest to the emotions a lot of you will be experiencing right now. The good news. 1. There is NO OTHER INDUSTRY where we all come together in times like these. And there's a reason. You are gifted. You were hired by a superbrand like Creative Assembly or Epic Games for a reason, so don't forget your worth. 2. Agencies and internal recruiters are on HIGH ALERT, right now, to talk to you. There are a TON of roles out there and this is the time to start thinking about the things that really matter to you, in your next role. 3. Weathering times like these make you STRONGER. It will probably happen again, maybe more than once. Maybe you've been here before. Just remember, it's not you. What's next? 1. Get that portfolio or showreel in order. 2. Same goes for your LinkedIn profile. 3. Reach out to people you've worked with. Strike up conversations and let people know you're on the market. 4. Don't panic. Take your time to make sure the next role you take is one that feels right for the right reasons. Lastly and would be remiss of me to not mention. Please reach out if you would like any direct support. Whether that be to explore our open roles here at https://lnkd.in/emf2vXet or, some direct advice on what to do next, my door is open.
