Connect with Steve on LinkedIn, Instagram and visit his website to learn more about his work. Be sure to grab his book, "The Layoff Journey" for your blueprint on how to navigate the different stages of grief that comes with a job loss.
In this episode, I sit down with Steve Jaffe, author of "The Layoff Journey " and someone who’s been laid off not once, not twice, but four times. We talk about what that does to you emotionally, how to pick yourself back up and what resilience really looks like when faced with uncertainty.
Steve touches upon the stages of grief that come with losing a job, why community matters more than ever, and how to redefine success when your title suddenly disappears.
If you’ve ever faced a layoff or you just want a reminder that endings can lead to new beginnings, this one’s for you.
