The Low Down On Being Laid Off I Laura Krauss

02 Oct 2024

Description

Roughly 28% of Americans have laid off in the last two years.    The repercussions – no one needs to tell you.    Whether it’s the first time it’s ever happened to you Didn’t see it coming  Or suspect ageism caused it   You need a way and place to deal with it to heal from it.    To go from “what if” to “imagine if”  To allow for redirection out of the ashes of resignation. And get real and vulnerable to rebuild and recover the identity you had.    Laura Krauss, also known as “layoff Laura” didn’t take her layoff lying down.   She made it public, yes for herself But also for you And for those who are grieving – going through the layoff phases and stages In this episode we address some lesser known facts around layoffs: Why and how the emotional impact of layoffs often outweighs financial hits Why age  doesn’t have to be a source of shame and how to use it for what’s next How to craft your new personal narrative to navigate post-layoff challenges. Plus: where to go and how to access Laura’s growing community  “The Layoff Cooties Couch” – the safest seat to connect with others healing from the emotional trauma of a layoff. After 20+ years as high producing global sales executive, Laura Krauss was blindsided and laid off. Shocked and unsupported by her coworkers, she vulnerably started sharing her story on Linkedin in Nov. of 2023.    Since then her life has changed. And it hasn’t been easy or over produced (like this episode).  She’s been raw and real in her personal journey through a layoff,  the emotional impact, the importance of community, and the need to destigmatize layoffs.  She emphasizes the stages of grief experienced during this transition and the significance of finding one's identity beyond work.    Laura also highlights the healing power of vulnerability and the importance of mindset shifts for job seekers, particularly in addressing ageism and crafting a personal narrative post-layoff.   Follow Laura!   Preorder her upcoming book The Layoff Cooties, It’s Them, Not You here:    https://www.rippleeffectsales.com Join her community here: https://the-layoff-cooties-couch.mn.co/plans/1445282?bundle_token=5ba606b766144cc96320fb833098a7c9
