Job Loss Navigator: Strategic Reset After Redundancy
Did the transition happen before you were ready? Are you trying to make practical decisions while still carrying the emotional weight of what just happened? Are you updating your CV, speaking to recruiters, checking your network, and trying to stay positive — but inside, it still feels uncertain? And does part of you worry that moving too fast may make you appear scattered, while moving too slowly may cost you momentum? This is the difficult space many professionals quietly enter after redundancy, forced transition, or an unexpected career break. You may be experienced. You may be capable. You may have delivered meaningful work for years. But a sudden exit can still shake your confidence, your identity, your financial comfort, and your ability to see the next step clearly. The challenge is not only finding another role. It is finding your footing again. At this stage, reactive job searching can become exhausting. Every conversation feels urgent. Every opening starts to look like a possibility. Every silence feels personal. And in that noise, it becomes harder to separate fear from strategy. The real question is not, “How quickly can I get back into the market?” The better question is: How do I make my next move with clarity, dignity, and strategic intent — without letting this transition define my story? The Career Reset & Transition Sprint is designed for professionals navigating redundancy, an unexpected career break, or a transition they did not fully choose. Across the sprint, we work through the immediate uncertainty, clarify your non-negotiables, assess role options, rebuild your positioning, and develop a focused search or transition plan. We look at what needs emotional readiness. What needs financial clarity. What needs market realism. And what needs a stronger career narrative before you start showing up in interviews, recruiter conversations, and network outreach. You will walk away with a post-exit decision framework, a practical runway and timing view, a refreshed career narrative, a target-role and target-company strategy, and a 30–60 day search action plan with outreach priorities, interview preparation, and weekly movement goals. This is not about pretending the transition is easy. It is not about rushing into the first available opportunity just to reduce discomfort. It is about helping you reset with structure, protect your confidence, and make a strong next move without appearing scattered or reactive. Because a difficult exit does not have to become a diminished story. Handled with care, it can become the point where you pause, reframe, and choose your next chapter with more clarity than fear.
What's included
Session plan - Session 1: Situation reset, emotional readiness, and constraints. - Session 2: Career options, runway, and decision criteria. - Session 3: Positioning, LinkedIn/profile narrative, and outreach message. - Session 4: Search strategy, interview preparation, and action plan. How I work with clients I work with clients by starting with clarity, not assumptions. Whether the challenge is a career transition, a leadership inflection point, a technology decision, or an organizational transformation, my first task is to understand what is really going on beneath the surface. Often, the visible issue is only a symptom. The real constraint may be unclear priorities, weak alignment, outdated operating rhythms, gaps in leadership identity, or decisions that have not yet been made with enough precision. My approach combines structured inquiry, real-world executive experience, and practical strategy. I do not believe in generic frameworks, motivational advice, or one-size-fits-all playbooks. Each engagement is shaped around the client’s context, goals, constraints, and stage of growth. Together, we diagnose the real pattern, challenge assumptions, surface blind spots, and translate insight into action. For individuals, that may mean strengthening leadership presence, reframing career value, or navigating the shift from technical expertise to strategic influence. For organizations, it may mean aligning leadership, clarifying decision rights, strengthening operating models, or turning transformation intent into executable movement. The work is both rigorous and human. There is strategic structure, but also space for reflection, identity shifts, trust-building, and the deeper leadership work required for lasting change. The goal is not just to create a plan. The goal is to help clients see clearly, decide wisely, and move forward with confidence.

ICF-ACC Career Coach | 30+ Years of Global Leadership at AWS, Deloitte
For more than 30 years, I built my career across global organizations, including Deloitte, KPMG, Rolta, and Amazon Web Services. I built and scaled teams, led large transformation programs, and sat in rooms with senior leaders trying to make hard decisions under real pressure. From the outside, it looked like a straight line up. It wasn't. There were stretches where I felt stuck behind a title that no longer fit, moments when I had to start over, and quieter periods where I wasn't sure what "next" was supposed to mean. I rarely said any of that out loud. Most people in those rooms don't. That experience is why I started Journey Redefined. I work as a career and leadership coach for people at the turning points that matter: a promotion that stalled, a leadership role that feels heavier than expected, a pivot they can't quite name yet. I bring both sides of the table to that work, the lived experience of having led, and the discipline of structured coaching as an ICF-ACC certified coach. I'm not interested in quick fixes or advice you could find anywhere. My work is quieter than that. It's about helping you reconnect with what you're genuinely good at, make decisions you can stand behind, and define success on terms that are actually yours.
