I Got Fired Last WeekEpisode 13 - Meeting with Tolu Adebekun Part 2Hey 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.

2023-11-1547 minI Got Fired Last WeekEpisode 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!
2023-11-0131 minI Got Fired Last WeekEpisode 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? What should it look like?
My encouragement to you is this... we can't change the past. But we do have control over our present, and that will determine our future.
Let's talk about it... Happy Listening!
2023-10-1834 minI Got Fired Last WeekEpisode 7 - How to be replaceableHey.
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.

2023-09-0625 minI Got Fired Last WeekEpisode 4 - Money, Money, MoneyHey. This is Episode 4.
Let's face it... The hardest bit about being out of work is not knowing how long it will last, and where the money will come from.

2023-08-2328 minI Got Fired Last WeekEpisode 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.
Hopefully, through my numerous experiences, you learn a thing or two about what to do.
Happy Listening.
2023-08-0922 minI Got Fired Last WeekEpisode 2 - The Day AfterHey. 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!

In this pilot episode, I introduce myself, explain what inspired this Podcast, and ultimately why you should listen to me.
