If you’ve recently been laid off, or just want to be prepared in case it happens, I’ve got you covered today with a step-by-step recovery plan.

It’s the final piece in my 3-part layoff series and I’m walking you through 10 critical moves to bounce back faster, stronger, and smarter than before.

(If you missed parts 1 and 2, catch the Top 7 Reasons for Layoffs and Questions to Ask to Avoid Them and Layoff-Proof Your Career: 10 Proven Strategies to Secure Your Job.)

In today’s comeback session, I covered how to:

  • Quickly gather the right materials from your employer before access is cut.
  • Craft a compelling layoff story that builds confidence and credibility.
  • Take control of your finances and daily routine during the transition.
  • Build a proactive job search plan that gets results.
  • Stay visible, sharp, and in demand even if you’re out of work.

A layoff can feel like a punch to the gut, but it doesn’t have to derail your career.

With the right actions, you can turn this setback into a powerful setup for your next big opportunity.

Whether you’ve been laid off or think it might happen, this lesson will help you rebuild quickly and reclaim your momentum.

You’ll walk away with a clear plan, renewed focus, and a sense of control even in uncertain times.

You’ve got this. And I’ve got you!
