How to Survive Redundancy

Without Losing Your Sh*t

Redundancy can knock the wind out of you. Even if you suspected it. Even if you’re partly relieved. Even if you’re trying to “stay positive.”

It can shake your confidence.
It can mess with your sense of identity.
It can leave you wondering what on earth to do next.

This session isn’t about pretending it’s fine. It’s here to give you a bit of space. A bit of perspective. And some practical steps so you don’t feel like you’re free-falling. You can watch it in your own time, pause it, come back to it — and focus on you.

Why we created this

Because we’ve been there. Amy has experienced redundancy herself and now works with leaders and professionals navigating change. Jennie has spent years in HR and career transition, supporting people through this exact moment and has lived experience too.

Between us, we’ve seen the fear, the relief, the anger, the “what now?”, and the quiet panic that can creep in at 3am. This is the guidance we wish we had had at the time.

What this session covers

We use a simple framework called HOPE:

Handling emotions: Because you don’t make clear decisions from a stressed nervous system.

Opportunities: How to think a little wider about what’s next — including bridge roles, portfolio careers and different ways of working.

Practicalities: Money, CVs, LinkedIn, AI, interviews — what actually matters in today’s market.

Excellence: How to move into your next role intentionally, not reactively.

What you'll take away

You won’t leave with all the answers.

But you will leave with:

  • Reassurance that your reaction is normal

  • A steadier head and clearer thinking

  • An understanding of how hiring has changed (including AI)

  • A clearer sense of what you want, not just what’s available

Most of all, you’ll leave knowing this isn’t the end of your story.

Who this is for

This is for you if:

  • You’ve recently been made redundant

  • You know it’s coming

  • You haven’t applied for a job in years

  • You’re feeling overwhelmed, unsure or just a bit lost

Or you simply need a moment to pause before making your next move.

 


Redundancy is a transition.

It’s not a verdict on your value.

If you need calm, practical guidance right now, this session is here for you.
