Tanya, 49, teacher
"When my role was made redundant last year, I went into a panic. I’d been a teacher for 25 years and I had no idea what I was going to do. Nikki's toolkit helped me unpack my strengths, see the transferrable skills I have and how I could use them in another role. It was a huge relief.
I'm now working as a literacy content specialist in an assessment organisation.”
Here's what you get in your Redundancy Toolkit
(1) Your Next Role in 30 Days
Get clear on your strengths and how to talk about them in a compelling way.
Understanding your strengths is the key to regaining confidence and finding a next or best-fit role.
This masterclass will help you get to know your strengths and how to master them to land your next role and make it a best-fit role.
(2) CV First Aid Kit
Learn how to structure your CV to stand out from the crowd and get noticed.
A well crafted CV will provide invaluable support to an application, or as part of a follow-up to a conversation with someone in your network.

Get clear on the elements of a compelling LinkedIn profile.
A strong LinkedIn profile is essential in this competitive job market. It will make you stand out from other candidates and increase the likelihood of being head hunted or hired.

I've distilled all of the fantastic insights and tips from the masterclass into a cheat sheet for you to download & use.
(4) Connect Method - the "I'm not a Networker" method
Learn how to connect with the right people in a way that will make them want to help you.
Networking can make us feel really uncomfortable, mainly because we think it involves talking about ourselves.
But the reality is that networking creates invaluable opportunities, so we need to use it to our advantage.
I’ve created this guide to take the pain out of networking.
This toolkit is for you if you want to...
Move through redundancy with clarity instead of confusion
Understand your strengths and how to use them strategically
Position yourself confidently in conversations and applications
Stop guessing what to write on your CV or LinkedIn profile
Learn how to access roles (80%!) that never get advertised
"Redundancy isn't the end of your career.
It's the moment you get to redefine it."
5 myths about redundancy
"Redundancy means my skills and experience don't count."
It's natural to feel this way when you're made redundant, but remember: it's your role that was made redundant, not you. Your skills, experience, and professional value remain intact. Companies restructure for many reasons—budget cuts, strategic shifts, mergers—none of which diminish what you have to offer.
My toolkit will teach you how to talk about your strengths in a way employers will find compelling.
"There's no point looking for another role now. I haven't seen anything advertised that would suit me."
Here's something most people don't realise: 80% of jobs aren't advertised. The best opportunities often come through networking, direct approaches, and tapping into the hidden job market.
My toolkit will show you how to access those roles without relying solely on recruiters and job search websites. The right role for you is out there—you just need to know where to look.
"I need to take the first job offer I get because I'm running out of time."
While financial pressure is real, accepting the wrong role out of desperation can set your career back further than waiting for the right opportunity.
A strategic, focused job search—even if it takes a bit longer—will lead to a position that truly fits your skills and career goals. Quality over speed will serve you better in the long run.
"At my age/stage, no one will want to hire me after redundancy."
Redundancy happens to people at every career stage and age, and employers understand this. What matters most is how you present yourself: your current skills, your adaptability, and what you can offer. Many people find that redundancy becomes the catalyst for their best career move yet, regardless of where they are in their professional journey.
None of my clients look back at their redundancy and wish it hadn’t happened!
"If I have to explain exactly why I was made redundant, employers will think something's wrong with me."
Redundancy is a common, understood part of modern working life. You don't need to over-explain or justify it. A simple, professional explanation—"My role was made redundant due to restructuring"—is sufficient.
What employers care about is what you can do for them now, not the internal decisions of your previous employer. My toolkit will teach you how to talk about your strengths and experience in a compelling way.
Peter, 51, engineer
“I was made redundant after a restructure. I’d been in the same role for 9 years and went straight into worst-case thinking. Nikki's guidance shifted everything. I got to see that I have strengths and experience that other organisations will value.
I worked through the toolkit and got a clear direction & plan. Four weeks later I had my first interview. My second interview resulted in an offer. I’ve stayed in my sector (manufacturing) and am now working in an organisation with a great culture.
Penny, 56, financial services
“Being unexpectedly made redundant was a shock and left me. I was thinking, "Redundant at 56! Who’ll employ me?" I felt like I had nowhere to go. Nikki's toolkit helped me break down my strengths and showed me practical opportunities I hadn’t considered.
It gave me focus, confidence and a concrete plan. I’m now finance director in a medium size recruitment business 4 days a week. I didn’t have to drop salary and have gained a really supportive team.”
Felicity, 38, teacher
“I felt overwhelmed, convinced I had no transferable skills. Nikki guided me through a simple, structured process that showed me exactly what I have to offer. The toolkit was just what I need - the ah-ha moments were gold! My anxiety eased and I could see a clear direction. Such a relief.
Using Nikki’s Connect Method resulted in an opportunity for me to help create & deliver a diabetes education and coaching support program."

About me
“Redundancy can feel like an end point. But it can also be an opportunity to clarify what you truly want next.”
Hi, I’m Nikki. I’m a Psychologist and Strengths-Based Career Change Coach with more than 20 years’ experience helping people navigate career change, performance challenges, and the search for meaningful work.
I’ve worked across recruitment, redundancy outplacement, and career development, so I know exactly what employers look for — and just as importantly, what you need in a role to feel fulfilled, energised, and confident about your future.
Over the years, I’ve helped hundreds of people move through the shock of redundancy and into roles where they thrive. And here’s what I see every single time: once they’re on the other side, they never wish it hadn’t happened.
Yes, the process is challenging. But it can also become a key pivot point in your career.
My job is to guide you through this transition with clarity, confidence, and a strengths-based approach that helps you find a true best-fit role — not just another job.
You get practical, grounded guidance… and you get someone in your corner who genuinely understands the emotional rollercoaster of redundancy.
