Ep 103 – Optimism in Redundancy: Positive Strategies to Move Forwards Fast, with guest Arthi Raghu

Want to learn how to come out of a redundancy on top and using your transferable value as your leverage? This is the episode for you!

 

 

My guest today is Arthi Rahgu who was recently made redundant from Linkedin’s workforce.

Arthi’s attitude towards the redundancy is surprisingly positive…

So much so…

That I asked her to come onto the show to share her experience with us, along with a number of practical strategies she’s employing to adjust to her new circumstance.

In this episode…

• We are talking about accepting those feelings of rejection, uncertainty, shame and fear when you lose your job
• How to value your sense of worth, beyond your job title, “I am not defined by my job.”
• How to help your process by looking at a redundancy positively and objectively
• Learning how to acknowledge your transferable value
• How reaching out to other people can really help you through a period of change, like a redundancy
• How to address a redundancy in a future job interview

 

Arthi shares this:

Going through a layoff is like experiencing trauma. I felt ashamed, embarrassed and as if I wasn’t worthy. And I decided to welcome those feelings in without going straight into problem-solving mode. How I look at it: at my old company, I was just a piece of the puzzle and then the puzzle changed a little bit and  so I’m no longer needed there and that’s okay. All those skills and experiences still come with me to my next venture.”  (Arthi Raghu, guest on Her Ambitious Career podcast)
