There's an energy of disempowerment in the air.

There are major redundancies in the social impact and social justice sectors happening.

​

Those losing jobs.

I feel for you.

I know when it's happened to me, I felt like I was out-of-control.

Feeling like an outcast.

I gave so much.

I felt overwhelmed with responsibilities.

My monkey brain became alive and kicking!

Monkey brain had a party!

Chaos energy. Overwhelm. Anxiousness.

All playing up like a sugar high.

​

Those staying, I feel for you.

When I've stayed whilst others are made redundant I felt guilty and hid away,

I felt a sense of greater urgency, cancelling things that were good for my future self.

Donor requests piled up which I felt I couldn't escape from.

Projects I didn't understand in front of me.

Chaos energy. Overwhelm. Anxiousness.

All present.

Self-care diminished.

​

As a team, I feel your need to grieve.

Healing. Trust. Connection. All needed.

Victims, Villains and Judges are felt present.

In some ridiculous play.

​

In kinship leadership, time moves in cycles and seasons.

So this is another season of change.

These moments feel so intense right now.

In 20 years, I hope you may look back at them and feel like it was an incredible moment where you responded with courage and love.

​

When my father was made redundant, he rolled the dice into his dream.

When others were made redundant, he supported them as best he could.

Imagine we're sitting in South Asian front room, with glass tables, and a smell of spice in the background - just as I remember people coming to my family home when I was a child.

​

Here's some reflection questions

​

For those who've been made redundant.

Take a moment to grieve and feel whatever emotions come up.

Now - time to not be the victim of your own story.

• Where is the gift in the redundancy?
• How can this be a shake up that you really need, deep down?
• What is your true calling and dream, that you only whisper to yourself?
• What's a mantra you can take for this new chapter?

Don't wait til your 70 like my dad did to live into your professional dream.

​

For those taking on more responsibility:

Don't cancel any self-care, in fact, increase it.

• What is going to help you to thrive not just survive?
• What boundaries can you put in place now?
• What can you say 'no' to?
• What can you ask for? Yes, ask for?
• What's a mantra you can take for this new chapter?
• Do you need to forgive those making decisions, to give yourself peace?

​

For teams needing to heal:

• How can you take time to grieve or honour the changes?
• How can you cultivate trust?
• How can you cultivate space to slow down not speed up?
• What needs to be named in the team?
• What's a team mantra you can take on during this chapter?

​

You can wait for the world to make the decisions for you, or you can step into making decisions, not knowing the outcome.

You got this.

I believe in you.

Show courage and love.

Reach out if I can support you.
