I Got Fired Last Week
So, I’ve just been made redundant, whilst on paternity leave with my first son. In the sheer panic of ’things a person should probably do’, it made sense to have an outlet and as therapy costs money, this made sense. This noble mission quickly evolved into something that might help other people that were fired, made redundant, dishonourably discharged... or anything else causing a person to be out of work. Here we discuss the challenges and opportunities of searching for work. If you’re feeling lost, overwhelmed, uninformed or uninspired, this is for you! Happy Listening!

Hey there.
Happy New Year to you and your families.
In this episode, I had a rich discussion with Tolu on what it means to stay and grow at one organisation. He spent 12 years at SKY and was made redundant as a Senior Leader. The difference is that he genuinely WANTED to be made redundant.
This is part 2.
This conversation changed my life. Hope you enjoy it.

Hey there.
As you can see from the title, this episode is about the fact that I found a job... HIP HOORAY, right? Or maybe not... Maybe I'm in way over my head, and what seemed right isn't actually right "for me".
This isn't your typical episode. The right thing at the wrong time, can be the wrong thing. And I want to explore that dichotomy with you all.
I know you're going to enjoy this one.

Hey there. This is Episode 8 of 'I Got Fired Last Week'. In this episode, I'm exploring the concept of Time: What it is? Why am I running out of it? What should it look like? My encouragement to you is this... we can't change the past. But we do have control over our present, and that will determine our future.
Let's talk about it... Happy Listening!
Hey.
This is Episode 7.
In this episode, I work through an interesting but tricky conundrum... How do I train others so they are competent, but no so competent that I get replaced. My answer is that you should always be replaceable. When you teach, you're emptying yourself of the old stuff and making space for something new.
Hope you enjoy this one.
Hey. This is Episode 6. I've been getting great feedback from you about the topics I've been speaking on. In this episode, I address a number of questions that you've either sent in, or we've spoken about personally. Hope you learn from other people's thoughts. Happy Listening
Hey. This is Episode 5.
Misery loves company... And it would be easy enough to find things to wine about. But that only gets us so far!
In this episode, I talk about ways to start rebuilding confidence and getting yourself back in the driving seat of your life and career, post-work break-up.

Hey. This is Episode 4.
Let's face it... The hardest bit about being out of work is not knowing how long it will last, and where the money will come from.
I use this episode to walk through some of the options you have available and provide you with some super useful resources.
Happy Listening.
Hey. This is Episode 3.
I hate complicated paperwork. I'm sure you do too... which is why in this episode, I walk through the 'Settlement Agreement', the legal document that swears you to secrecy.
Hopefully, through my numerous experiences, you learn a thing or two about what to do.
Happy Listening.
Hey. This is Episode 2.
This is quite an emotional episode for me... I speak about some of the things I felt the morning after I had the 'redundancy conversation'.
Employment is a relationship... So one person saying they don't want to be in it anymore can be daunting, upsetting... and even times, traumatic.
Let's process these feelings together, in real time.
Happy Listening!
Welcome to the first episode of 'I Got Fired Last Week'.
This is not a typo... I was genuinely told that my role was now redundant and that, even though I was on paternity leave, I would now have to look for another job.
In this pilot episode, I introduce myself, explain what inspired this Podcast, and ultimately why you should listen to me.
I think it will be good... I'd encourage you to listen through, and let me know what you th...
