In Episode 6, based on the chapter Doors Will Close Unexpectedly, But Even More Doors Will Open, we dive into how unexpected career disruptions like layoffs, reorgs, or leadership changes are inevitable. At the same time, they also present opportunities for growth and reinvention. The podcast shares lessons from my personal experiences and provides practical guidance on how to respond with resilience, create a personal game plan, and stay ready for what’s next. Preparation, networking, and clarity on your goals are key. While a door closing can be jarring, they often lead to new and better opportunities if you're ready to walk through them.

This episode, Chapter 4 - Ensure You Have The Facts Before Taking Action, covers how making informed decisions starts with understanding the facts.
