Layoff-Proof Your Career: A Practical Guide to Staying Ahead

In a world where job security is no longer guaranteed, waiting for a layoff to happen is no longer an option. Layoff-Proof Your Career delivers a practical, executive-level roadmap for professionals who want to stay ready, stay relevant, and stay in control — no matter what shifts in the economy, leadership, or workplace politics.

Written by seasoned healthcare executive Elise Carrington, this guide draws from two decades of leadership experience across corporate strategy, operations, and people development. With insight forged in boardrooms, reorganizations, and rapid pivots, Elise equips readers with real-world strategies to:

• Recognize early warning signs of layoffs and organizational change
• Build personal and professional resilience before a crisis hits
• Develop a parallel path — including entrepreneurship — if corporate life no longer fits
• Protect your legal rights and document safely, without retaliation
• Prioritize mental wellness and leadership presence during transitions
• Make strategic moves that fortify your future, not just react to change
