How to Control Your Career Destiny in the Face of Layoffs

I know this year has been incredibly rough already - and it's only April! 😬

But the good news is that, even in the face of tremendous challenges, there's always opportunity out there.

The key is to know *where* to look 🔎

Take this advice I shared with Rebecca Root for Devex.

For those affected by the USAID layoffs, it can feel like opportunities are few and far between.

But the incredible skills they've built up tackling some of the world's toughest challenges actually make them all-star candidates for roles with:

  • State/Local Government

  • Foundations

  • NGOs

  • Think Tanks

  • CSR Teams

And that's just a small sampling - you can build a much more robust list with AI, as described in the article.

So bottom line: We can't control what the world throws at us. But we can absolutely control how we respond.

So whether you've been affected by these specific changes - or just want to take control of your destiny as the world changes around us - know that you've got more power than you may realize! 💥
