The headlines won't write about the ones who saw it coming.

In this episode of Corporate to Calling™, I'm addressing what 14,000 Amazon employees (and 30,000 total in 90 days) just experienced — but more importantly, I'm talking to the professionals who are reading the room right now. If you've noticed the meetings you're no longer invited to, the shifting dynamics, or that familiar knot in your stomach on Sunday nights, this episode will show you how to move strategically before the announcement comes.

The truth? Strategic exits are built during employment, not after termination.

This isn’t about panic. It’s about positioning.

What You'll Learn:
↳ How to recognize the early warning signs before layoffs are announced
↳ Why your current job is a funded strategy lab, not a prison to escape
↳ The Bridge Project framework: building your exit while solving business problems
↳ How to translate your corporate currency into market value
↳ Why the corporate mask must come off to move forward strategically

If you sense the shift but don’t want to move recklessly, this episode will show you how to design your exit from strength — not fear.

Because the goal isn’t to escape. It’s to leave well, with leverage.
