So, I’ve just been made redundant, whilst on paternity leave with my first son.
In the sheer panic of ’things a person should probably do’, it made sense to have an outlet and as therapy costs money, this made sense. This noble mission quickly evolved into something that might help other people that were fired, made redundant, dishonourably discharged... or anything else causing a person to be out of work.
Here we discuss the challenges and opportunities of searching for work.
If you’re feeling lost, overwhelmed, uninformed or uninspired, this is for you!
Happy Listening!

Episode 13 - Meeting with Tolu Adebekun Part 2
Hey there.
Happy New Year to you and your families.
In this episode, I had a rich discussion with Tolu on what it means to stay and grow at one organisation. He spent 12 years at SKY and was made redundant as a Senior Leader. The difference is that he genuinely WANTED to be made redundant.
This is part 2.
This conversation changed my life. Hope you enjoy it.

Episode 9 - I GOT A JOB!!!
Hey there.
As you can see from the title, this episode is about the fact that I found a job... HIP HOORAY, right? Or maybe not... Maybe I'm in way over my head, and what seemed right isn't actually right "for me".
This isn't your typical episode. The right thing at the wrong time, can be the wrong thing. And I want to explore that dichotomy with you all.
I know you're going to enjoy this one.
Happy Listening!

Episode 8 - Time...What is it? Why should I care?
Hey there.This is Episode 8 of 'I Got Fired Last Week'. In this episode, I'm exploring the concept of Time: What it is? Why am I running out of it?

Let's talk about it... Happy Listening!

Episode 7 - How to be replaceable
Hey.
This is Episode 7.
In this episode, I work through an interesting but tricky conundrum... How do I train others so they are competent, but no so competent that I get replaced. My answer is that you should always be replaceable. When you teach, you're emptying yourself of the old stuff and making space for something new.
Hope you enjoy this one.

Episode 3 - The Paperwork!
Hey. This is Episode 3.
I hate complicated paperwork. I'm sure you do too... which is why in this episode, I walk through the 'Settlement Agreement', the legal document that swears you to secrecy.

Happy Listening.

Episode 2 - The Day After
Hey. This is Episode 2.
This is quite an emotional episode for me... I speak about some of the things I felt the morning after I had the 'redundancy conversation'.
Employment is a relationship... So one person saying they don't want to be in it anymore can be daunting, upsetting... and even times, traumatic.
Let's process these feelings together, in real time.
Happy Listening!

Episode 1 - How We Ended Up Here!
Welcome to the first episode of 'I Got Fired Last Week'.
This is not a typo... I was genuinely told that my role was now redundant and that, even though I was on paternity leave, I would now have to look for another job.
In this pilot episode, I introduce myself, explain what inspired this Podcast, and ultimately why you should listen to me.
I think it will be good... I'd encourage you to listen through, and let me know what you think. I'd appreciate your feedback.

Happy listening!
