I'm doing a success story on a Lady who came through my program back during the summer. She's worked for years at a national grocery store chain. A reorganization from corporate HQ mandated restructuring. All that looks good on paper, but pencil pushers rarely see the down and dirty results of those decisions.
My candidate was one of those who got the letter. You've been an exceptional employee, but we're letting you go. Don't worry, you'll have access to COPRA insurance. Obviously, I'm making this part up, but I've worked in management and I can work out how it usually goes down.
My candidate walked away, with a stack of awards and commendations for her years of work with the company.
Before she came to my workshop, her inner Voice had chided her into submission. I've actually heard those conversations you tell yourself. "You're worthless. Who's going to hire someone this "OLD." You'll die broke" and so on.
One of the main things I do with people who have been devastated by situations like this is to tell them how remarkable they are. And that they are worthy of finding a great situation.
This lady attended every meeting we had. She took notes, and she did her homework. She landed a job a few weeks ago.
When I talked to her today, she was a different person. She smiled. That made me happy.
This evening when I got home, it was getting late in the day but I needed to walk to get my steps in. A few hundred yards down our path, I saw a patch of yellow flowers with some purple things mixed it. I didn't have time to research and identify what they were, but I did get a picture.
