Re-Broadcast: 3 Things Great Leaders Do When They Get Laid Off

Send us Fan Mail

In this rebroadcast from 2023, we revisit a conversation that feels just as relevant today: What do you do when you get laid off?

Losing a job—or experiencing an unexpected work transition—can be disorienting, painful, and deeply personal. In this episode, Nathan and Linda explore how leaders can navigate these moments with greater intention.

We discuss:

• Four organizational dynamics that can signal change is coming
• Why self-compassion matters after losing a job
• The importance of caring for yourself physically and emotionally
• Why reaching out to your people is about more than networking
• How unexpected transitions can become opportunities for growth and transformation

If you're navigating a career transition—or walking alongside someone who is—this conversation offers a practical reminder: give yourself permission to acknowledge what's hard, care for yourself, and stay connected to the people who know you best.

Three practices for navigating a layoff:

1. Practice self-compassion
2. Prioritize self-care
3. Reach out to your people
