I started writing this newsletter on a plane from Brisbane to Mackay, Australia. I’m essentially “on tour” to train mostly men, (mostly white men) in a male dominated industry about:

1. Why Diversity & Inclusion is essential for their business and their industry, and

2. Training on Respect at Work, the name given to Australia’s push to banish sexual harassment and discrimination from the workplace, and create respectful workplace cultures.

It's good stuff.

But as I sit on the flight, I’m conscious that these men may feel a bit attacked by both topics.

I was talking to one of my podcast guests last week, about how challenging the market is for business and jobs. She had been talking to someone about to make 40 people's jobs redundant, and had also heard that a large organisation in New Zealand had just hit 500 redundancies this year.

Maybe you have lost your job this year?

Did you have a plan if you lost your job? Have you been developing yourself and your network in case this happens?
