Law firms, along with many others, seem to have transitioned from the challenges associated with the Great Resignation to wondering whether they overhired. Some lawyers will be the victims of a layoff. Victims? And that's the problem. If you've ever been laid off, downsized, made redundant, or any other of the euphemisms for being fired, it can feel terrible. It can be scary.

Whether you've been laid off, fear being laid off, or just want to build your confidence and profile, being proactive reduces the likelihood that you will suffer a layoff. You'll also be less likely to suffer in the face of a layoff. What do we mean? Consider that all else being equal, confident people do better in life. They don't let fear of failure paralyze them. Colleagues and clients are more likely to trust and hire them. Critically, and perhaps most importantly, confident people have more objectivity about what happened and are consequently able to discern what they could have done better and what wasn't within their control. Now let's build your confidence.
