You didn’t plan for this. But here you are — somewhere between what was and what’s next.
Welcome to Pink Slip Pivot. It’s my way of paying forward strategy time to people navigating job transitions in the age of AI.
Each month, I open up 9 free, 30-minute Zoom sessions* (14 free, 25-minute Zoom sessions) on the first Friday, focused on clarity, relevance, and your next best move. These sessions are designed specifically for professionals in active transition—not recruiters, resume writers, or career marketers.
*Number of openings and length of 1:1s has changed. Learn why.
🧭 Why This? Why Now?
Because the rules of work are shifting. Because AI is rewriting job descriptions faster than you can update LinkedIn. Because even high-performers get pink slips.
These 1:1 conversations are short, focused, and grounded. Together, we’ll tackle questions like:
How do I stay relevant in this new era?
What does a “next move” look like when the map has changed?
How do I realign my work with meaning — not just survival?
🗓️ First Friday Format
Here’s how it works:
Sessions are always free.
Next event: Friday, July 4 (Yes, a U.S. holiday. Clarity doesn’t take time off.)
Time slots: 7am–3pm PT via Calendly
Registration opens: June 27 — spots fill quickly
Once booked, you’ll receive a brief intake form to help us make the most of our 25 minutes. A waitlist will be available if all slots fill.

🤝 A Pay-it-Forward Model
There’s no catch. This is free time for people in transition. But if something good comes from it—if you land a new role, reconnect with your creative energy, or reboot freelance work—please consider paying it forward:
Gift a Substack subscription (mine or someone else’s)
Support a writer, mentor, or guide who helped you through the storm
Share this resource with someone else who needs it
That’s how Pink Slip Pivot sustains. That’s how we build bridges.
📬 Need Inspiration?
I’ve curated a list of 12 excellent Substack newsletters designed to support your transition, sharpen your thinking, and help you feel less alone in this moment of change. They’re free now — and well worth supporting when you're back on your feet.
👋 Ready to Pivot?
If you're holding a pink slip and wondering what’s next, start here. If you’ve landed, but feel unaligned — this is for you, too. The tools are shifting. So can you.
See you on First Friday.
Such important guidance needed here Dee because many will be looking to transition. Some by choosing to, others unfortunately by company downsizing.
Dee, this is one of the most generous offers I've seen in a long while. To give of your time to help people in need -- I don't know anything more important. Blessings on you.
