Your Guide to Starting from Scratch
summary
Claims a six-step model (three prep steps plus three growth steps) that turns layoffs and reorgs into opportunity, cites 15% of people stuck in trauma and 25% who experience post‑traumatic growth. Tools are concrete: role‑model backcasting, written gap lists checked against job descriptions, newsletters/hashtags/podcasts for skills, targeted cold outreach and a personal board of directors. Examples: one person fills the list in months, others in two years; outcomes include new hires, offers and reinvention at scale (ran an APM program with 60+ interns).
