Turning Redundancy into Opportunity

Redundancy is tough.

Even when you had a feeling it was coming.

Even if you’ve been through it before.

Even if you know you’re great at what you do.

Here’s the important bit:

It’s the role that’s been made redundant, not you.

Your experience, your skills, your talent, they’re still very much alive.

So, pause.

Take a walk.

Talk to people you trust.

Let yourself feel it.

Frustration, relief, anger, even excitement, whatever your reaction, it’s the right one for you.

And when you’re ready…

It’s time to move forward.

• Do you want to continue in a similar role?
• Could this be the moment to go bigger, smaller, or completely different?
• Might interim work or consultancy projects give you breathing space while keeping your career moving?

Redundancy can feel like a massive roadblock.

But more often than not, it’s a career transition point.

A chance to step back, rethink, and decide where you want to go next.

It might be the opportunity you didn’t know you needed.
