I Just Lost My Job -
Now What?
What to Do When Standard Career Advice Fails
About the book
What do you do when the departure is complicated? When the network goes quiet? When you have to explain what happened without the explanation working against you?
I Just Lost My Job - Now What? is a structured path through all of it — a complete operating system built since 2009 from guiding people at every level, from a first layoff to the C-suite, through every kind of disruption.
This isn't a book about surviving a job loss. It's a book about understanding your own value so clearly that no company's decision about your employment ever becomes its decision about your worth.
It's built on the RESET Operating System
Process what happened without letting it drive your decisions
Shape how the market understands your value
Build a focused plan, not a flurry of activity
Turn effort into real opportunities
Land well, and stay ready for what comes next
You'll see RESET applied across the full range of disruption — including when the situation is complicated, public, or nowhere in the standard playbook.
The Workbook
Reading the framework is one thing. Working through your own situation is another. The companion workbook is where you do it — on paper, in your own words.
Structured around the same five RESET phases, it gives you 30+ worksheets that move you from crisis to clarity one decision at a time. A Quick-Start Guide points you to the right worksheet for exactly where you are — whether you just lost the job, haven't heard back on fifty applications, or have an interview tomorrow.
Inside: financial runway and severance tools, resume and LinkedIn worksheets, a full networking system, interview and story preparation, an Offer Evaluation Matrix and Negotiation Planner, and a First 90-Day and Quarterly Check-In to keep you sharp long after you land.
It isn't only for the first ninety days. Pull it out again for a promotion decision, an internal move, or the next time something shifts.
Use I Just Lost My Job - Now What? to understand the framework. Use the workbook to apply it to your life.
