Retrenchment
Re-invention
Having your job terminated unexpectedly by a process over which you have no control, is life-shattering. The impact hits you at every level and has ripple effects on all areas of your life. Furthermore, few resources exist to help individuals to recover psychologically or to get back into the job market.
Having experienced this myself, I published a Coaching Handbook for Re-inventing Yourself after Retrenchment.
Over two decades, I have worked with countless clients and outplacement groups to transition them to fulfilling careers and rebuild their lives.
This book is available for purchase from Amazon or can be ordered directly from me.
