Fired at 63: The Best Thing Ever

Описание: My Double Termination, Building Resilience Beyond the Pink Slip. Being fired at 63 after a lifetime of success was my reality. I suddenly lost two jobs back-to-back — one through downsizing, another through termination.

In this video, I share what really happened, how I rebuilt my sense of identity and purpose, and what evidence-based psychology (Self-Determination Theory) taught me about resilience, autonomy, competence, and connection.

If you’ve ever been laid off, fired, or forced into early retirement, this story will help you find hope, direction, and a new sense of freedom — even after major career disruption.

• How to rebuild confidence after losing your job in your 50s or 60s

• Why getting fired can open unexpected doors to meaning and growth
