No one ever plans to be laid off—but in an uncertain job market, the most successful professionals are the ones who plan not to be.

Last week, I hit the first part one of my layoff survival series with Top 7 Reasons for Layoffs and Questions to Ask to Avoid Them.

In my newest lesson, I share 10 powerful strategies to make yourself indispensable at work—the kind of employee companies fight to keep, not cut.

I covered:

• How to consistently deliver measurable results your company can't ignore.
• The exact skills that make you layoff-resistant in any industry.
• Smart ways to stay visible (without bragging) and build influence with decision-makers.
• Why adaptability and financial awareness can protect your role.
• The mindset shift that helps you spot company risk—and prepare early.

If you’re not actively working to become indispensable, you may be more replaceable than you think.

Today’s lesson will show you how to strengthen your position inside your company, build long-term career security, and create opportunities even in uncertain times.

You don’t need to be worried. You just need to be ready.
