From Layoff to New Opportunities: How to Embrace Change and Thrive

Malcolm and Brittany discuss the challenges and opportunities of career pivoting. They reflect on their own experiences and the reasons why people often find it difficult to make a change. They emphasize the importance of being self-aware and open to new possibilities. They also discuss the pressure to maintain a certain image as an entrepreneur and the stigma around going back to work. They share their own journey of career pivoting and how it has led them to new opportunities.

Key Takeaways:

• Career pivoting can be both easy and difficult. It is easy when you want something different and are willing to make a change, but it is difficult because change is uncomfortable.
• The attachment to identity and the fear of what others will think can make it hard to pivot in your career.
• Going back to work or making a career change is not a failure. It is a redirection and an opportunity for growth.
• Men often struggle with finding a balance between work and family responsibilities and may feel pressure to be the provider.
• It is important to be open and receptive to new opportunities, even if they are unexpected or different from what you had planned.
